Importance of Women

All throughout Jesus' ministry, I want to glorify the women in his life because they aid and tend to him even more so than some of his closest apostles. Many of these women seem to always be at his side even in dangerous situations. For example, during the time of Jesus' crucifixion, his closest followers were always near and weeping for him. Many of them, who were women, followed him from Galilee, which shows their great belief and commitment to him. In addition, these women wrapped his body up, prepared spices and perfumed oils for him, and set his body in his tomb. Carefully tending to his corpse, some of theses women were the first to discover that his body was missing three days later. Mary Magdalene, Joana, and Mary mother of James told the eleven apostles about Jesus' resurrection, which astounded them because they felt it would be themselves to discover an event like this.

Their immense adherence to Jesus' authority, grace, power, and wisdom demonstrates the tremendous faith they have in him. From these examples I understand and feel that Jesus had many close relationships with all the women in his life. These amazing stories of gratitude towards Jesus have helped me develop my accounts on the good news of Jesus Christ.
