The Stop at Magdala - Bringing Mary into the Kingdom

The Stop at Magdala  - Bringing Mary into the KingdomWhen Jesus and the apostles traveled the women took up the rear; when they held their meetings the women sat in a group in the front to the right of the speaker. Increasingly women were believing in the gospel, but in the past a problem along with a fair amount of embarrassment would develop when a woman wanted to have a personal talk with Jesus or one of the twelve apostles. Now it was different: when one of them wanted to meet with Jesus or one of the twelve they first went to Susanna, who then along with one of the other women evangelists would take them straight to the person.At Magdala the women proved their worth and confirmed Jesus’ wisdom choosing them for the mission. From the start Andrew had imposed strict rules about men working with women, especially those that were considered of questionable character. When they arrived at Magdala it was the ten women evangelists who were free to enter the brothels and preach the good news in person, and it was them who brought Mary Magdalene into the kingdom. Because of the Jews unforgiving nature, Mary and the other women were more or less trapped working in Magdala’s brothels. That was until Martha and Rachel told her and the others that the kingdom of heaven was open to everyone, even women like them. Mary believed them and the next day Peter baptized her.Of the twelve women apostles, Mary Magdalene became the most illustrious teacher of them all. About four weeks after being baptized, she along with Rebecca joined the other ten spreading the gospel. These twelve women worked faithfully throughout Jesus’ life on Earth to uplift their downtrodden sisters, and when the final tragic episode in his life was happening and all of the apostles but one had fled, they were present and not one of them ever denied or betrayed their Master.Excerpt from Son of Man: Urantia, Chapter 29, The Third Preaching TourSon of Man: Urantia, is a restatement of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the Urantia revelation and in accordance with its urging to do so for today’s generation.Full episode here: The Third Preaching Tourhttps://robertakezer.substack.com/p/chap-29-the-third-preaching-tourSon of Man: Urantia, Books: (English and Spanish)https://www.lulu.com/search?page=1&sortBy=RELEVANCE&q=son+of+man%3A+urantia&pageSize=10&adult_audience_rating=00Son of Man: Urantia, PDF’s (English and Spanish)https://son-of-man-urantia.sellfy.storeGodspeed, everyone.Bob This is a public episode.
