Mary

MARY

The first person to see Jesus on earth (at his birth) is known for her purity--The Virgin Mary.

The first person to see Jesus on earth (after his resurrection) is known for her sin--Mary Magdalene.

"It was early on Sunday morning when Jesus rose from the dead, and the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons" (Mark 16:9,NLT).

Two women--both named Mary--had the honor of being the first to see Jesus--one was justified by the law--the other was justified by grace!
