Question 3 of 10
3. Question
Certainly, the women were frightened. Who were these men? The presence of angels was as unusual to them as it would be to us. Probably the first glimmer of hope sparked in their hearts. Was it possible? Was it really possible that Jesus had risen as He said He would?
The Scripture: Luke 24:9-11
“When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the others, but they did not believe the women (Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and others) because their words seemed to them like nonsense.”

Question 10 of 10
10. Question
It is safe to assume that Mary Magdalene was one of “the women.”
The Scripture: Acts 2:1-4
“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”
26. What happened on Pentecost?
Mary Magdalene was undoubtedly one of those who received the baptism in the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Although I have condensed some scripture, this is basically what the Bible has to say about Mary Magdalene and Jesus. Certainly Mary played a pivotal part in Jesus’ ministry, especially after His crucifixion. But the Bible speaks of no great romance and marriage between Jesus and Mary, no birth of a child. Nothing here to indicate they were more than Lord and faithful follower, good friends.
Dan Brown has written a story that has intrigued many readers, but it is a story based on lies. The greatest danger is in believing this story to be true and thereby missing the important message of Scripture regarding women. Time and time again, Jesus freed women from the sin and sicknesses that had marginalized them in their culture, releasing them to the full stature of what God intended for their lives. This was unheard of in those times and it is the heart of God’s goodness to see Jesus’ love at work. Brown’s plot diverts us from seeing the redemptive work of Jesus and its power. And that is bad news! The enemy must cheer when people fall for this.
The Bible warns us in no uncertain terms not to alter anything to Scripture. The DaVinci Code simply cannot be taken as truth.
