Text: Luke 8:1-3
Intro: Our Lord’s followers have always been a fickle bunch. During His earthly ministry, He was followed vast crowds, and at other times, He was followed by just a faithful few. As the course of Christ’s ministry became clear, even His own disciples were guilty of running away from Him. But our passage mentions a dedicated group of women that followed Jesus. And offered Him financial support and absolute devotion. One of these women, Mary Magdalene, seemed to have followed Him everywhere.
