Sermon Scripture: Luke 24:1-12 (NRSV)

We are in the third Sunday of Advent. During Advent this year, we are exploring the stories of women who have helped to share the Gospel in their generation. Perhaps none of these are more important than Mary Magdalene. If you’ll extend some me some grace, let’s explore this resurrection story during Advent.

All four of the Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – place Mary Magdalene at the scene of the resurrection as the first witness to this world-changing event. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central story of Christianity. And at the center of the resurrection story is Mary Magdalene. This should not be overlooked. The importance of this would be hard to overstate….but how did Mary get here? How did she become the person right in the middle of it all?
