Mary Magdalene: Her Life After Jesus, the Gospel of Mary, and How History Has Spoken About Her

Image
Mary Magdalene is one of the most prominent women in the New Testament, yet also one of the most misrepresented. A careful reading of Scripture, combined with early Christian texts, shows a woman of faith, courage, and spiritual depth—far removed from the myths later attached to her name. Mary Magdalene in the Bible Mary Magdalene is first introduced as a woman delivered by Jesus from seven demons: “Mary (called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had come out.” — Luke 8:2 (NIV) The Bible does not describe her as immoral. Deliverance from demons signifies healing and restoration, not sexual sin. After her healing, Mary became a committed follower of Jesus and supported His ministry: “These women were helping to support them out of their own means.” — Luke 8:3 Mary remained faithful at the crucifixion when many disciples fled: “Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother… and Mary Magdalene.” — John 19:25 She witnessed His burial: “Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he w...

A Prayer for Life, Protection, and God’s Love

  Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for the gift of life, for every breath I take, and for the strength to rise each day. In a world full of uncertainties, You remain my constant. You are the Author of life, the Giver of peace, and the Protector of my soul. Lord, I acknowledge that I cannot walk this life alone. Sometimes the burdens feel heavy, the road uncertain, and fear tries to creep into my heart. But Your Word reminds me that You are my refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust. I lean on Your promises today, trusting that You will never leave me nor forsake me. Cover me with Your wings, O Lord. Be my shield in moments of danger, my light in the darkest hour, and my strength when I feel weak. Surround me with Your angels, and let no harm come near my dwelling. Guide my steps, direct my path, and let Your will always prevail in my life. Father, in all I do, may Your love be the anchor of my soul. Let me not be swayed by the tr...

He also informed him that his descendants would become slaves. It was not a mistake, God had foretold it hundreds of years ago. 📖 Gen.15:13-14 A lot of times we think that the things that happen in our lives are a mistake, that they surprise God.

The trials in our lives are there to build our faith. 📖 Jas.1:2-4 📌 This story begins with Joseph being taken to Egypt as a slave.
