John 20:18 (KJV) Come Early, Stay Late

John 20:18 (KJV)

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

Mary Magdalene came early, and saw the stone taken away.

Mary Magdalene stayed after, and saw the risen Lord.

Peter and John came, saw the empty tomb, and believed. But then they went home. It was because Mary Magdalene came early and stayed late, she had a testimony to give the disciples.

There are those who come to Church services hear the Word,  see what the Lord has done, and then leave believing.

But it’s because of those who arrive early to the meeting house and stay long after the others have gone that those others have opportunity to:

• Hear, 
• See, and 
• Believe

Mary Madalene is not heard from in the Scriptures again. She came early and stayed late and, because of that, the disciples were strengthened to change the world. 

I imagine heaven is filled with souls whose names were never recorded in this world, but who made those whose names are what they became. They are those whose rewards are greatest in heaven. Those whose names we all know have already received their reward.
