Why did Jesus choose to reveal Himself first to Mary Magdalene?

In choosing to reveal Himself first to Mary Magdalene, Jesus emphasized His deep compassion and commitment to those who are marginalized and suffering. In John 20, Mary had sought Christ in her grief, displaying her love and devotion. Jesus' interaction with her illustrates that God's grace is extended to all, regardless of societal status or past sins, as Mary was known to have been possessed by seven demons (Luke 8:2). This act of revealing Himself to her first signifies the personal nature of His resurrection—He calls us by name into a relationship with Him, reminding us that His grace is available to all who seek Him in sincerity.
