Mary Magdalene was one of the prominent women present in the New Testament. She is one of Jesus' most faithful speakers, and always believed that he was the true Messiah.
Resurrecting, the first person Jesus appeared to was Mary Magdalene. She had gone to the tomb to prepare the Jesus body with perfumes but when she saw the body was no longer there she began to cry. At that moment Jesus appeared and asked why she was crying. Without the Master, at first, he wondered what had been taken from the body of the tomb.
Then when Jesus called her by name she was the one standing before her was the resurrected Messiah.
She left the place and went at the same time as the others. Charles Spurgeon on Mary Magdalene and what woman represents for the Christian life. What can be called the word of life!
Amen!
C.H. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
Spurgeon quickly became known as one of the most influential preachers of his time. Well known for his biblical powerful expositions of scripture and oratory ability. In modern evangelical circles he is stated to be the "Prince of Preachers." He pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in downtown London, England.His church was part of a particular baptist church movement and they defended and preached Christ and Him crucified and the purity of the Gospel message. Spurgeon never gave altar calls but always extended the invitation to come to Christ. He was a faithful minister in his time that glorified God and brought many to the living Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill).
The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000 - all in the days before electronic amplification.
In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the new Metropolitan Tabernacle.
