Jesus didn't come to earth to establish a religion - he came to bring people face to face with God. Back in ancient Jerusalem, empty religion controlled society. Jesus made a whip and threw it out of his Father's house. He rejected religious leaders and chose women and fishermen instead. Today it's similar. There's a lot of bustling Christianity around, but Jesus is not looking for a polished religious system. He's looking for people who know him and love him, people like the three Marys.
A lot of the time, most of Jesus' disciples missed the main point. While Jesus was on the earth, they seemed to care more about themselves than about God. They often didn't understand his teachings, and they didn't believe his words. In his darkest hour when he was in an agony on the cross, almost all of them ran away.
The three Marys - Jesus' mother, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of Bethany - were different. They were willing to give themselves to Jesus in extreme sacrifice, and they profoundly impacted his life and ministry. These women knew that the most important ministry was not about serving themselves or even serving others, but ministering to God.
This book reveals powerful insights from the lives of these three women. It shows how they touched Jesus' heart, revealing their tears and extreme devotion. Their powerful testimonies shed light on what it means to be a true follower of Jesus.
