Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna were three women healed by Jesus. They became His disciples, traveling with Him and the male disciples when He preached in various cities and villages. Mary, delivered from seven demons, a devoted female disciple, is prominently mentioned in each of the four Gospels. Mary was instrumental in telling others that Jesus was risen from the dead. Mary Magdalene, a woman with “a past,” was the first bearer of the Good News! God did not hold her past against her and she did not let her past hinder her. Women, be encouraged! You have work to do in the Kingdom!
