Mark 16:9-11

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping.

11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.

Mary Magdalene sees the Crucified Christ

Some Bible scholars believe that the "seven demons" Jesus drove from Mary Magdalene may have been some form of mental illness.

Credibility of the Report

Think of how difficult it would be for us to believe that a person had come back from the dead, even if it was told to us by a reliable witness! Mary Magdalene, who may not have been all that credible, was telling a story which could have been shrugged off by the disciples as a figment of her imagination.

Our Belief in Christ

In present day, even with the Holy Scripture quoted by multiple witnesses, we sometimes have trouble believing. So enters the word faith. Let faith lead your heart and your mind and, with the Holy Spirit leading you, believing in Christ is not as difficult as you once thought.

Love in Christ
