While Mary Magdalene prepared for Jesus' burial, the disciples prepared for the Passover as Jesus had instructed them (Matthew 26:12, 19, Contemporary Bible). Jesus had clearly told His disciples, 'As you know, the Passover is in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified' (Matthew 26:2, Contemporary Bible). However, despite this, they prepared for the Passover, not for Jesus' burial like Mary Magdalene. Reflecting on the disciples who were not prepared for the death of Jesus, the Passover Lamb, I learn the lesson to be prepared for Jesus' second coming, just as the wise five virgins were ready (Matthew 25:1-13).
