Jesus & women

Mark 15: 40-47

One of the most important lessons that Jesus’ example taught us about God is what he thinks of women. Jesus obviously treated the women in his life with respect and honor. Just look at the women present at his burial in this passage. Two were mentioned, but it reads like there were more there, women who had been involved in his ministry.

The Bible speaks of different roles for men and women, but it never says that men and women have different worth in front of God. Jesus always showed value to women. Men, we need to follow his example. The women in our lives are not objects or possessions; they are people in whom Jesus died. Let’s treat them like that.
