About this item
Though she is mentioned by name fourteen times in the gospels, we actually know only four things about Mary Magdalene.
I love stories of Bible characters, especially those people in the Gospels who interacted with Christ when He walked upon the earth. These accounts are rich expressions of grace and mercy, forgiveness and restoration, compassion and correction that have spoken deeply to the hearts of men and women for two millennia. Of all those stories, however, arguably none tells a tale of such undeniable transformation, strong commitment, and deep devotion as the story of Mary Magdalene. Her encounter with Jesus can be an example to men and women alike of what it looks like when we respond with our whole hearts to the love of Christ.
