Single Minded Seeking
Read John 20:1-18. Read again in a different translation.
What stands out to you in this passage?
Put yourself in the place of Mary and imagine each part of the passage from Mary’s perspective. How do you feel?
Mary Magdalene was single-minded in seeking Jesus. She wasn’t distracted by:
- Mystery – things she didn’t understand such as the stone being rolled away from the entrance of the tomb
- Other people who were around – Peter & John
- Other spiritual experiences – the angles that were sitting in the tomb
- Her own limitations.
How are you going with seeking Jesus? Some things to consider:
- What things are distractions for you?
- What can you do to be more single-minded in seeking Jesus?
- Is being closer to Jesus something you want to do?
