The Study on Mary of Magdalene
12:00 AMHi Girls!
We hope and pray you are learning a lot about each of the women we have studied thus far and their lives have made a positive impact onto your own! It's now onto week 4 and Mary Magdalene!
Our Memory Verse for this week is Isaiah 43:1
..."But now, this is what the Lord says—He who created you, Jacob, He who formed you, Israel: 'Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.'"
Mary Magdalene's story is found in these passages:
Matthew 27:57 -61
Matthew 28:1-10
Mark 15: 40-47
Mark 16: 1-11
Luke 8:2-3
Luke 24:1-11, 22-24
John 19:25
John 20:1-3, 11-18
Have you noticed a pattern forming in that one week we have very little Scripture to study and the next week we have tons? We hadn't planned it that way, I promise, and we want to encourage you to read a few of these passages each day this week to discover all we can about Mary Magdalene.
This will be how our study this week will run:
- Monday: Her story--a portrait of her life
- Tuesday: Her life and times--background information about the culture of her day
- Wednesday: Her legacy in Scripture--a short Bible study on her life with application to your own
- Thursday: Her promise--the Bible promises that apply to her life and yours
- Friday: Her legacy of prayer--and praying in light of her story
We want to also encourage you to be thinking along these lines as you study each woman throughout the week. Ask yourself:
- What life lessons stand out to me from her life?
- How does the culture of that day have an impact on her circumstances?
- What legacy has she left us?
- What's the greatest takeaway/promise from her story?
- How does her story prompt you in the area of prayer?
