She had seven demons cast out of her. π
She was not a disciple by title.
She was not in the inner circle of twelve.
She had a past that would have
disqualified her in most people's eyes.
And yet.
She was the first human being
to see Jesus after the resurrection.
The first person the risen Lord
appeared to and spoke to
was a woman with a complicated past
who refused to leave His tomb.
While the disciples had gone home
she stayed.
Weeping. Searching. Refusing to leave.
And Jesus said her name.
Just her name.
Mary.
And she knew.
God always reveals Himself
to those who refuse to walk away.
