Mary’s at the Tomb - Part 2: By His Side

About this message

In this message, Christopher traces Mary Magdalene’s remarkable journey through three transformative encounters with Jesus—first as a woman delivered from seven demons who became a devoted follower willing to give everything to support his ministry, then as a grieving woman who stayed faithfully by his side even in the darkest moment when he lay dead in the tomb, and finally as a determined seeker whose refusal to let go of Jesus led to the most personal encounter of all when he called her by name on Resurrection morning. Through the poignant details of John 20, Christopher shows how Mary’s single-word encounter with Jesus—when he spoke her name—transformed her from a weeper into a worshipper and ultimately into the first recorded witness of the resurrection, demonstrating that Jesus responds to hearts that remain devoted and determined to seek him whatever the cost. As you listen, hear Christopher’s challenge: What will you do with your fresh encounter with Jesus today—will you merely say thank you and move on, or will you be like Mary and say “I want more of you”? Will you let go of the smaller Jesus you know in order to embrace the bigger Jesus you don’t yet know, and become his witness through your own story of what he has done for you?
