We reflect on Mary Magdalene and the danger of letting gratitude fade as deliverance becomes our new normal. We look at how Jesus meets her in the darkness, calls her by name, and sends her to share the resurrection message.
• forgetting what freedom used to feel like over time
• Mary Magdalene in Luke 8:2 and the meaning of complete bondage
• deliverance that becomes devotion through staying close committed and present
• devotion proven in hard moments when others leave
• John 20:11-18 at the tomb and the power of Jesus saying her name
• delivered and then deployed to carry the resurrection message
• our challenge to share what God brought us through
