The Battle for Jesus The Battle for You

Revelation Mary Magdalene The Battle for Jesus…The Battle for You What is revelation? No, I am not talking about the book in the Bible. Today, we are going to look at the most illogical, confusing, and powerful scene in the resurrection narrative. It seems to make sense that the person we will focus on in the narrative is Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene

The Battle for Jesus…The Battle for You John 20:11-18 NIV 11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

The Battle for Jesus…The Battle for You John 20:11-18 NIV 15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

The Battle for Jesus…The Battle for You John 20:11-18 NIV 17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” 18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her. Jesus revealed Himself in His resurrection body to Mary Magdalene first. Mary was emotionally distraught. She did not recognize Him at first. When Jesus spoke her name, she knew Him.

Questions Why did Mary not recognize Jesus at first? The Battle for Jesus…The Battle for You Questions Why did Mary not recognize Jesus at first? What helped Mary recognize Jesus? Why do you think that Jesus revealed Himself to Mary before His disciples?

The Battle for Jesus…The Battle for You Application Points Revelation is best received in the context of a relationship. Stuff gets in our way. Gender, economic status, ethnicity, nor age have anything to do with who God chooses to reveal Himself to. We will recognize Him when He speaks to us personally.

Questions How has the Lord revealed Himself to you? The Battle for Jesus…The Battle for You Questions How has the Lord revealed Himself to you? What has He revealed to you? What gets in the way that keeps you from perceiving God’s revelation? How do you think that God determines who He reveals Himself to? Do you believe that God’s revelation is personal or impersonal?
