Jesus had 12 active

disciples and 70 dominant 

disciples yet He chose a 

woman, Mary Magdalene to be 

the first herald of His

resurrection. It is also worth noting that the women were the last of Jesus’ followers at the cross and the first at the tomb. 

Mary had courage that many of the men did not have when Jesus was crucified. She stood by Him through it 

all. In fact, the bible records that after Jesus was crucified, Mary observed where He was laid – Mark 15:47. She waited as they took His crucified body from the cross, wrapped and placed it in a tomb that belonged to Joseph of Arimathea. And her love was rewarded.

 

The Lord rewards consistency in service. In Jeremiah 29:13, God assures “… ye shall seek me and 

find me when you shall search for me with all your heart.” Let this season stir up revival in your spirit. Seek the Lord more. Take time to read more of God’s word and

wait upon the Lord. Reciprocate His love towards you through giving and God will reveal Himself, truth and 

secret to you. Have a blessed day as you give people around you this devotional as parts of your Easter gifts.
