The Easter Bible story. This Christian poem is Part One of two Easter poems. It tells the story of the few faithful women, including Mary Magdalene, who cooked, helped, and supported Jesus as He travelled through townships and villages, preaching, healing, and teaching His disciples. They were faithful right to the end of His life. The poem is told through the eyes of these few faithful women - what they saw, heard and felt during the last few days of Jesus' life. A Few Faithful WomenMary grew up in thriving MagdalaA town on the banks of the Sea of GalileeBut Mary Magdalene did not thrive in lifeFor demons controlled her mind. Living in a nightmare of mental illnessHaunted by evil monsters and villainsThat chased her away from life's simple pleasuresInto dark valleys of misery and torture.Jesus looked through her with knowing eyes‘Mary' He said, neither afraid nor repulsed"Leave her." He commanded the demonic spiritThere she stood with her Saviour in her right mind.Now at peace, like the troubled sea, Jesus once calmedHer nightmare was finished, her new life had begunShe devoted her life to those she owed so muchIn deep gratitude for God's mercy and love.Mary Magdalene witnessed and listenedStirred and surprised by Jesus' teaching and healingNow surrounded by friends who loved and cared Pure joy to a woman unaccustomed to joy.Mary followed with His disciples and other women Who had also been cured of evil spirits and diseases The women lived, served, and supported them As Jesus travelled through townships, preaching and healing.Mary and the women served Jesus to the end Along His final journey to JerusalemCrowds no longer gathered to listen to Him Close friends and disciples had deserted him.Mary saw religious men thirsty for His bloodShe listened as Pilate pronounced His death sentenceShe felt angry at the injustice of an innocent man She wept to see Him tortured by the soldiers of Rome.She watched Him fall under the weight of His crossHis flesh was stripped from his back from the cruel beatingAs Jesus struggled to climb the hill to deathMary watched helplessly as her Saviour bled.Mary stood near the cross with the other womenThey heard the hammering of nails through his fleshThey watched as Jesus shunned the pain relief drinkAnd the soldiers laughed and gambled for his cloak.These women who loved him listened and criedAs the religious men and people passing byShouted abuse and mocked, “Look at you now!”“You saved others, but you can’t save yourself."They listened in disgust as the criminals beside Him Joined in the ridicule of him, except one Who begged Him for mercy, and through pain, Jesus said"Today I will see you in paradise.”For three hours, darkness fell across the landThe crowds thinned out, yet the women stayedThen Jesus cried out in agony to GodThey listened, helpless to relieve His pain.Mary and the other faithful womenListened to Jesus forgive His enemiesThen cried, "It is finished", and bowed His headThen Jesus cried out and breathed his last breath.The earth shook, and the rocks split apartThe women cried their final goodbyeThe soldiers, who once mocked, were now terrifiedConfessing “He truly was the Son of God!”They had humbly followed Jesus Serving selflessly behind the scenesRight to the end, under suffering and tearsWith persistence and faithfulness.The faithful women still standing byWatched the soldiers cripple the two criminalsBut even though Jesus was already deadA soldier speared Him through His side.Mary Magdalene and a few of the womenApproached two unknown followers of JesusWho took His bloodied body down from the crossAnd wrapped it in ceremonial spices and cloth...Read the full poem on the website.Read or listen to my poems at Simply Story Poetry on ⁠Facebook⁠, ⁠Pinterest⁠, ⁠YouTube ⁠and at ⁠simplystorypoetry.com⁠ and follow me on ⁠Instagram⁠.I appreciate you taking the time to listen to my poem.
