Mary Magdalene called Him "Rabboni!" Teacher. Previously, Martha and Mary of Bethany had referred to Him in the same way (John 11). In those days, for a woman to be taught of a man was indeed something!

Like those women, I am a student of Jesus. I want to be -- desire passionately to be -- taught by Him. I want to understand and "see" the totality of what happened at Calvary, and to minister to Him and for Him as long as I have breath. And I believe -- no matter where the site of the tomb of Jesus -- that He is the risen Son of God. Unlike Mary, I have not literally seen the Lord, but I have seen the things of the Lord. And like Mary, I find that something to shout about.

And this is part of what I learned when I fell into the Bible.
