Fellow Labourers-
This grace that Jesus displayed with regard to Mary Magdalene is indeed radical grace. This is grace so amazing so divine. Let's listen to a direct quote from today's article "Watching Christ, we begin to see a God who is entirely countercultural, who affirms those who are rejected and overlooked, who gives women a voice and safe place to be heard, and who calls everyone to transparency, compelling a broken world to come to him with their pain and shortfall, sickness and sin. We see a God who not only can handle our real stories—but demands them—because He Himself is real. "
There are those today who wants to call Mary's life and her association with Jesus into disrepute. Isn't it rather odd how good deeds are sometimes frown upon? I have come to realize that those who would put you down and try to dig up your past cannot help your present or your future. Armed with this fact I will cling to the grace of God. With all that is happening around us and the attendant uncertainties let me leave a verse with you "For I know the thoughts I that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11
