Have you ever watched a movie or a show and you'd seen it before you knew the end of

the story?

Maybe you were watching it with a friend and they knew they didn't know the end of

the story but you did.

So in all the suspenseful parts were coming, you weren't anxious or concerned because you

knew the end of the story.

You see today you and I are living in the end of the resurrection story.

See, we know what happened the day that Jesus died.

We know what happened when he was buried.

He rose again.

We're living at the end of the story.

But see, two thousand years ago, there were disciples and followers of Jesus that were

actually living in the story.

They didn't know what was going to happen.

You know, the interesting thing about a story when you're watching it, that's one thing.

But when it's happened until your own life, that's an entirely different thing.

You see when it's happening to you and you face difficulties and challenges and suspenseful

plots, it's difficult.

You can't always remember the end of the story.

You can't always remember what has been promised.

See today I want to talk about a band of women, one being Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother

of James and a few others.
