In the story of resurrection, many names are remembered—Peter, John the disciples.
But the very first person to see the risen Christ and carry the news was a woman: Mary Magdalene.
She wasn’t a casual bystander.
She was a devoted follower.
A faithful witness.
Mary Magdalene had walked through the darkest valleys with Jesus.
She had seen His suffering.
She had stood by the cross when others fled.
But that’s not where her story ends.
On that quiet, early morning, when the stone was rolled away, Mary was there.
“Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early… and saw that the stone had been removed.”
— John 20:1
When others doubted she stayed.
When others hid she sought.
Then she encountered the risen Lord—
not once but twice.
“Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord!’”
— John 20:18
Mary’s courage and faith changed everything.
She was not silent.
She was the apostle to the apostles, entrusted with the most important message in history.
What Does This Mean Today?
- Your faithfulness matters, even when the path is dark.
- Your devotion positions you for divine encounters.
- God uses the faithful to carry His hope into the world.
Mary Magdalene reminds us that leadership in the Kingdom isn’t about titles.
It’s about faithfulness, courage, and witness.
To every woman walking a faithful path today:
Keep following.
Keep seeking.
Keep believing.
You might be the first to see what God is doing next.
Your faithfulness is a ministry.
Your witness changes lives.
You are Mary Magdalene.
You are sent.
