Women of the Bible [Part 3]

Mary Magdeline 

By Sheilla Mo


As we learnt with Sarah,let us take notes from Marry as well.


The Past


^ She was despised by others because she used to be a prostitute but Jesus looked beyond her mistakes.



The latter

^ Marry was there for Jesus until the end..
Matthew 27:61 GNB
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, facing the tomb.

^ She gave Jesus something that was so precious to her...
I personally love perfumes and I'm pretty sure women in general have a thing for perfumes as well.This perfume that cost a whole years wages must have been really something to be recorded in the bible.Judas even criticised her thinking that it was wasted but Marry was only expressing how much she adored Jesus iregardless of what others thought of her actions.

^ Marry was the firs person Jesus saw after He resurrected...


[John 20:11-18 GNB]
Mary stood crying outside the tomb. While she was still crying, she bent over and looked in the tomb and saw two angels there dressed in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet. “Woman, why are you crying?” they asked her. She answered, “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!”  Then she turned round and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not know that it was Jesus. “Woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who is it that you are looking for?” She thought he was the gardener, so she said to him, “If you took him away, sir, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.”  Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned towards him and said in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (This means “Teacher”.)    “Do not hold on to me,” Jesus told her, “because I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am returning to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God.”  So Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and related to them what he had told her.



What can I learn from Mary Magdeline?

√ Do not be ashamed to speak about Jesus...
√ Pour your heart out to Jesus..cry if you have to...
√ Give Jesus the very best of you and what you have...
√ Put Jesus first and he will do the same for you...
√ Marry proved her love to Jesus and Jesus did even more for  her.
√ She was the one who broke the news that Jesus is alive
    (What a privilege!)
√ Fight the good fight and persevere until the end...

Jesus's greatest Testimony

Image
When Christ died, he died for sin once and for all. But now he is alive, and he lives only for God. There has and will never  be a god or any leader of somewhat denomination that will deafeat death.Some have died but are being worshiped...seriously! His greatest testimony is that He has defeated death for us all and He is alive! Whereas our greatest testimony should be to die for Him every single day. Romans 6:1-14 What should we say? Should we keep on sinning, so that God's gift of undeserved grace will show up even better? No, we should not! If we are dead to sin, how can we go on sinning? Don't you know that all who share in Christ Jesus by being baptized also share in his death?  When we were baptized, we died and were buried with Christ. We were baptized, so we would live a new life, as Christ was raised to life by the glory of God the Father.  If we shared in Jesus' death by being baptized, we will be raised to life with him. We know that the persons we

©  sheillamooblogspot .ie PS As I mentioned in my previous post,I sometimes blog about what I learn from our meetings and this is the message that I received from watching a video of a special meeting that we watched at the Love Therapy.Here we go; Q What is the most important thing that we do in the church? A It is not the prayers but to put into practice the teachings that we receive from the Alter.  Q What is the secret to a successful marriage? A The cross. The vertical line represents your relationship with God and the horizontal one symbolises your relationship with your spouse. As much as we know the trinity of the Father,the Son and the Holy Spirit, there is also a trinity of God,yourself and your spouse.If God is the pillar of your relationship,you will have peace.What is required is for a wife to submit to her husband.She has to do everything for him as if he were The Lord Jesus Christ.As Jesus is the head of the church,the husband is the head of the family too.

10 confessions of who I am in Christ

Image
By Sheilla Mo The revelation of the scriptures tells us that ten is a number of perfection. Dare to declare the promises of God in your life by determining them with authority that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has given you. People put us down at times but you don’t have to accept how they see you. You could be your worst enemy as well, who knows? You have to realize that God formed you with his own hands and he accepts you just the way you are and if only you had the slightest clue of how much he adores you! Of course we are not perfect and yes they will always be a need to improve some bits so why bit yourself up? Learn to confess your victory at the start of each day. It will not only help you have a positive mind but with your perseverance and faithfulness to God, you will see significant changes in your inner being. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength as I live life of superior quality and abundance. [Philippians 4:13, John 10:10] I am blessed a
