Jesus had a special ministry to women. Mary Magdalene is a case in point. Given that she was a fallen woman and demon possessed (Mark 16:9), the religious leaders considered her a lost cause. To their way of thinking her kind was not worth saving. But Jesus saw things differently. Instead of giving up on her, He redeemed her and made her the first missionary of the resurrection.
“After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons.”
— Mark 16:9 (NLT)
Lord Jesus, I am praying for a desperate woman who has been abused. She is broken and without hope. Only You can save her. Hold her close to Your heart and heal her wounded soul. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
