Day 2: Where Christ and Magdalene Meet
“So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.” (Genesis 1:7)
“Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome.In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.” (Mark 15:40-41)
On the second day of creation, God separates the sky from the sea. He takes what was once one vast, undefined expanse and draws a line through it. He gives shape to what had no boundaries. Chaos is no longer just chaos. It has edges and definition.
That’s what it begins to feel like when you start following Jesus. For so long, Mary Magdalene’s life had been ruled by survival. Chaos didn’t just surround her, it shaped how she saw herself; blurring her identity, distorting her judgment, and keeping everything feeling unstable and undefined.
But sitting under Jesus’ teaching, something begins to change. She starts to see her life differently. Things that once ran together begin to separate. Old patterns lose their grip. New clarity forms. She no longer has to hold everything together by force. She can release control and let Jesus lead. Because where He leads, there is stability.
A sky set high above the sea and a life no longer swallowed by what once overwhelmed it.
