Have you ever felt unworthy to serve Jesus because of your past? You and I live in a sinful world because of what Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden so long ago. However, God always has a plan. We may not feel as those we deserve God’s grace, mercy, love, and forgiveness because of the Garden of Eden, but God deems us worthy because of the resurrection of Jesus at the Garden Tomb. Take a listen to this Sermon Notes edition of the podcast where I pull some gold nuggets from the conversation between Mary Magdalene and Jesus, as well as compare the events that surround that conversation at the Garden Tomb with what happened in the Garden of Eden.
Reference to where I gleaned the parallel of the two gardens: https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/women/mary-magdalene-witness-of-christ-s-resurrection.html
