A third example is Mary Magdalene. Her chief characteristic was love. She loved Jesus greatly. Still, love was no defense against ignorance or a lack of understanding. She had not the faintest idea what God was doing in the death and resurrection of Jesus. So when she met Jesus in the garden after the resurrection, thinking him to be the gardener, she asked, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him” (John 20:15). She was deeply devout, yet confused nonetheless.
