We are told that Jesus cast 7 demons from Mary Magdalene. In essence she was a crazy lady; the lady we shy away from or avoid eye contact with; the lady sitting on the sidewalk talking to herself. Today we’d say she has a psychiatric diagnosis of some sort. What ever else has been said of Mary she was definitely considered to be unclean, a sinner, a person to be avoided and even shunned. She ended up being part of a very enterprising group of women who everyone knew were providing financial support for Jesus and his followers, a group of women that others came to depend on. How would you feel about being taken from the very dregs of society to move about in circles far beyond your wildest dreams? It’s something that Jesus does for all who come into contact with him. What might he be calling you to?
