“As the first witness to the Resurrection, Mary Magdalene was considered by the apostle John to be the founder of Christianity. In most theological studies she has been depicted as a reformed prostitute, the redeemed sinner who exemplifies Christ’s mercy.
The Gnostic gospel of Mary Magdalene repeats many of the New Testament words of Jesus. Here is Christ’s Easter Message which, in part, is also found in the New Testament books of Luke and John during the first appearances of Jesus after his resurrection!
The Gospel of Mary Magdalene – Page 8 – Christ said, ‘Attachment to matter gives rise to passion against nature. Thus trouble arises in the whole body; this is why I tell you: ‘Be in harmony …’ If you are out of balance, take inspiration from manifestations of your true nature. Those who have ears, let them hear.’
After saying this, the Blessed One greeted them all, saying: ‘Peace be with you — may my Peace arise and be fulfilled within you! Be vigilant, and allow no one to mislead you by saying: ‘Here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’
For it is within you that the Son of Man dwells. Go to him, for those who seek him, find him. Walk forth, and announce the gospel of the Kingdom.’ ”

John 14:27 – “Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor fearful.”
Luke 24:36 – “Now while they were telling these things, Jesus Himself suddenly stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
