Most people view familiarity as a prerequisite to intimacy, and in most situations, I think this a healthy take on relationships. In today\u2019s text, though, I dare to differ. Sometimes intimacy begets familiarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mary Magdalene stands weeping outside the entrance of the tomb where her Savior lay. The same Savior whom Luke tells us delivered her from seven demons (Luke 8:2). Her weeping only intensifies as she notices that the body of her Savior has been moved. The angels inquire about her weeping, to which she responds, \u201cThey have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>My<\/em> Lord. To Mary, Jesus was not just simply the Lord, a lord, or even Israel\u2019s Lord. He was <em>her<\/em> Lord. She knew him intimately. She had followed him from Galilee (Matthew 27:57) to the cross (John 19:25) and now, to the tomb. This intimate love led her wherever He was, and because of this, she became one of the first to see Him alive. Of course, she does not recognize Him at first. Perhaps that is because, as some theologians would suggest, her tears impeded her ability to see who was so clearly standing before her, but you better believe she recognized her Lord the moment she heard His voice. \u201cMary,\u201d He said to her. \u201cRabboni!\u201d she responded and immediately clung to Him. Like sheep who recognize the voice of their shepherd, Mary recognized the voice of her Savior. Intimacy begot familiarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus was Mary\u2019s beloved Lord, whose death broke her heart. He was her Savior, who delivered her from darkness. He was her teacher (\u201cRabboni!\u201d), who taught her while he was still in Galilee (Luke 24:6). And now, upon her recognition of Him, Jesus became her brother and her sender (John 20:17-18). \u201cGo to my brothers and say to them,\u201d Jesus commands Mary, and to the brothers she obediently went, proclaiming, \u201cI have seen the Lord!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Like Mary Magdalene, can you confidently say that Jesus Christ is <em>your<\/em> Lord?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Is there anyone in your life to whom you need to obediently go and proclaim, \u201cI have seen the Lord\u201d?3. Is your love for the Lord so intimate that you desire to be wherever He is? How can you daily stir such an intimate affection for Him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read This<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In Luke 8:1-3, we learn that several women were among Jesus&#8217; followers.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/female-disciples\/\"> Check out this article by Rebecca McLaughlin<\/a> to learn more about two of these women who followed Jesus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-f0575d6 ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-f0575d6 hr.ugb-divider__hr{background-color:#dddddd !important;height:1px !important;width:50% !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important}.ugb-f0575d6 .ugb-inner-block{text-align:center}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><hr class=\"ugb-divider__hr\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 8: Mary Magdalene Devotional by Abigail O\u2019Neel Read John 20:11-18 John 20:11-18 11&nbsp;But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb.&nbsp;12&nbsp;And&nbsp;she saw&nbsp;two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.&nbsp;13&nbsp;They said to her,&nbsp;\u201cWoman, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/4-9-2023\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Mary Magdalene | Day Eight<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,8],"tags":[29],"class_list":["post-2068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-devotional","category-holy-week","tag-holy-week-2023"],"featured_image_urls_v2":{"full":["https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/alicia-quan-kBybHJ3CEWI-unsplash-scaled.jpg",2560,1920,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/alicia-quan-kBybHJ3CEWI-unsplash-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/alicia-quan-kBybHJ3CEWI-unsplash-300x225.jpg",300,225,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/alicia-quan-kBybHJ3CEWI-unsplash-768x576.jpg",768,576,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/alicia-quan-kBybHJ3CEWI-unsplash-1024x768.jpg",900,675,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/alicia-quan-kBybHJ3CEWI-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg",1536,1152,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/alicia-quan-kBybHJ3CEWI-unsplash-2048x1536.jpg",2048,1536,true],"post-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/alicia-quan-kBybHJ3CEWI-unsplash-2000x1500.jpg",2000,1500,true]},"post_excerpt_stackable_v2":"<p>Day 8: Mary Magdalene Devotional by Abigail O\u2019Neel Read John 20:11-18 John 20:11-18 11&nbsp;But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb.&nbsp;12&nbsp;And&nbsp;she saw&nbsp;two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.&nbsp;13&nbsp;They said to her,&nbsp;\u201cWoman, why are you weeping?\u201d She said to them,&nbsp;\u201cThey have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.\u201d&nbsp;14&nbsp;Having said this, she turned around and&nbsp;saw Jesus standing,&nbsp;but she did not know that it was Jesus.&nbsp;15&nbsp;Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cWoman, why are you&hellip;<\/p>\n","category_list_v2":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/category\/devotional\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Devotional<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/category\/holy-week\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Holy Week 2023<\/a>","author_info_v2":{"name":"Champion Forest","url":"https:\/\/www.championforest.org\/devotionals\/author\/cfbcms_admin\/"},"comments_num_v2":"18 comments","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mary Magdalene | Day Eight - Devotionals<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Daily devotionals with Champion Forest Baptist Church.
