<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the greatest cruelties—happened to Mary Magdalene.&nbsp; You will soon understand why her story means more now than ever before.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For starters, Jesus rescued her from what so many women faced in those days. Now she is redeemed and planted into a family of indescribable love.&nbsp; Things would never be the same.&nbsp; Her nights of remorse, her days of futility, her emptiness, were now all distant memories.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The next three years were a life she could never have imagined. Crisscrossing Judea.&nbsp; Hanging on Jesus’ every word. Weeping gloriously over every miracle.&nbsp; Everyday, she woke up a more powerful and joyous woman of God than the day before. She thought it would go on forever.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>People use the phrase “nothing could be worse…”&nbsp; I will use it this way: Nothing could be worse than to be in hell, and then taste heaven, only to return to hell.</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>On that fateful Friday, it all went horribly, horribly wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp;How could the One Who called the dead back to life and silenced a storm at sea, be arrested?&nbsp; Can the One who gave words of exquisite beauty, love and wisdom, be tortured and killed?&nbsp; No one wanted to save Jesus more than Mary.&nbsp; She felt&nbsp; horror and helplessness.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That night, profound hope with threatened by bitterness and disappointment.&nbsp; Evil said, “it would have been better if you had never met Him!”&nbsp; Sleep came when exhaustion became more powerful than sorrow.&nbsp; &nbsp;She was too wounded and drained to even think about what she should do with her life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mary is of special importance to me today, because her testimony is the best one I can think of this Easter. Mary’s miracle is the miracle the American church needs now!&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://mariomurillo.org/2025/04/19/after-jesus-died/?mc_cid=6c872bb26e&amp;mc_eid=597fb59a8a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">READ MORE</a></strong></p>
