In time, Jesus appeared to his apostles and then to more and more of his followers. At one point he appeared over 500 at one time! (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) Mary's faith surely grew with each appearance, whether she saw it or heard the reports. Perhaps Mary Magdalene was one of the women mentioned as being in attendance at the meeting in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost when holy spirit was poured out on Jesus' gathered followers. - Acts 1:14, 15; 2:1-4.
At any rate, we have ample reason to be confident of this: Mary Magdalene kept her faith until the end. May each of us be resolved to do the same! We will imitate the faith of Mary Magdalene if we show gratitude for all that Jesus has done for us and humbly serve others while trusting in God's help.
