Mary of Magdala page 13 by ric gustafson
Mary, Philip and Nathanael were sitting around a fire. They were sad because their new Master had not come back.
They heard a noise in the dark.
Mary was afraid. " Who's there?".
" I am".
Philip recognized the voice. " Master".
It was Jesus. He seemed weak with sunburnt skin. A blanket was put over him.
" Do you know how long I was gone?".
" No" replied Nathanael.
" Forty days and forty nights".
Mary stared at Jesus. " Why Master?".
" I needed to confront Satan".
" Did you defeat him?".
" For now". Jesus frowned. " He will be back".
Mary looked sad. " What do we do now?".
Jesus grinned. " Just follow me".
