Why do you think Jesus chose, after he rose, to show Himself first to Mary Magdalene?
Mary Magdelene was not a prostitute which we were taught in the past.  She was an ardent disciple of Jesus.  It makes perfect sense that he would appear to her first.

Why is it that in the Bible the name of Mary Magdalene appears so many times over the name Mary the Mother of Jesus? It`s just mind bottleing to me!

Why do you think Jesus chose, after he rose, to show Himself first to Mary Magdalene?
I think Jesus favored Mary from early on when she was a prostitute. She cleaned his feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. She was also the one chosen to hold on to the sented oils for his berial. And she truly believed in Jesus to be the son of God with out a doubt. I think this is why Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene.

Why do you think Jesus chose, after he rose, to show Himself first to Mary Magdalene?
Jesus gave this honor to Mary Magdalene because she had sought Him more fervently and loved Him so very much and I think it pleased Him to let her tell the others of His resurrection.

Mary was missing him so much to the extend that she remains at the tomb waiting to see who has taken her lord away.

Did he choose it? wasn`t it that she was the first one to run to the tomb to cry but also deep down in the heart certain that he was there?prepared in her heart by his words to witness the greatest miracle.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb, and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. They told her, "Woman, why are you weeping?"
She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn't know that it was Jesus.
Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?"
She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."
Jesus said to her, "Mary."
She turned and said to him, "Rhabbouni!" which is to say, "Teacher!"
Jesus said to her, "Don't touch me, for I haven't yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
