Monday, Holy Week: Musings on the Two Marys

Reading Matthew 28:1.
" ...Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb."  (NIV)

God calls these two women to be his prophets and preachers about the most momentous moment in the history of the world.

It is a brave thing they did, going to the tomb. It is a mysterious thing that they had ears to hear the angel's news, and a miraculous thing that they believed what they heard.

It is a life-changing vision they had of that empty tomb.

It is the greatest act of faith that any person could have shown that day as they left the tomb as bearers of the light, the light which the darkness had not, has not, will not overcome.

Thank God for sending such a resounding message that he chooses women to be God's ministers.

Then and now.

To conclude otherwise is to deny the choice God made in relying on the "Two Marys" to carry the light.
