Message: John 8:1-3 “Lessonsfrom the Land: Magdala” This week we visit a city called Magdala, on the Western side of the lakeshore. This is the town that Mary Magdalene was from, just seven miles south of Capernaum, Jesus’ ministry base. Jesus restored Mary’s life and she dedicated the rest of her life to him. She is mentioned more times in the Gospels than most of the Apostles. Her life is an example to us of what it looks like to be transformed by Jesus and devote ourselves to following him. Like Mary Magdalene, it is important to remember what Jesus has rescued us from and called us to.
