Mary of Magdala was the victim of a fearful evil. She was possessed by seven demons. These seven demons caused much pain and suffering to the poor woman. Hers was a hopeless, horrible case. She could not help herself, neither could any human succour avail.
Jesus passed that way, and unsought, He uttered the word of power, and Mary of Magdala was healed. All the seven demons left her, forcibly ejected by the Lord.
What a blessed deliverance!
What a happy change!
She became a constant follower of Jesus.
When Jesus was lifted up in crucifixion, Mary remained the sharer of his shame. She could not die on the cross with Jesus, but she stood as near it as she could, and when his blessed body was taken down, she watched to see how and where it was laid.
