Questions to ask yourself
Do you know who you are in Christ?
How important are we as women?
Why do we try to be or look perfect?
Social media
What do we try to portray is it an illusion or reality, is it the manipulated version of ourselves the controlled version of ourselves?
As a Christian woman there is no need to prove who I am because my identity is in Christ!
The significance of a woman is so great the women of Easter show that.
The women stayed when the apostles fled.
The women followed him the whole way traveling every step with him watching every scar being placed on his body, and every drop of blood flow from his brow they watched him slip away little by little. Who were these women?
Mary of Nazareth Jesus's mother from the first breast to the cross a woman was a part of his whole story that's how significant She was That's How significant a woman is to Jesus. I can't imagine the Sadness and Sorrow that she was facing knowing this day was coming and then living it seeing the prophecy coming to life being fulfilled. She is the perfect example of obedience and Trust.
Mary Magdalene was the one woman named with the seven demons that Jesus cast out she is so significant that she was named 12 times in the Bible more than most apostles. She was present at the cross all the way till the resurrection and was named the first to see him.
Mary of Bethany sister to Martha and Lazarus a friend and precious to Jesus she showed her heart and Jesus showed his to her as well.
Salome wife to a well-to-do fisherman Zebedee mother of James and John Apostles of Jesus and also thought to be married cousin she supported Jesus's Ministry with funds. And followed him throughout his journey.
There's also a group of women from Galilee that Salome helped lead
These women were with him, following him staying with him, preparing his burial, supporting him like most women do. As mothers we wait on our children, we follow them, we prepare things for them, we are with them even if you're not doing anything we are there for their support we are there for them no matter what just as these women were with Jesus no matter what. They were taking care of him just like we take care of our children the Lord knew that these women were supposed to be there to take care of Jesus. It could have been John, John was there but God knew that he needed a woman a woman's Spirit a woman's softness a woman's prayer a woman's heart.
During this time in Jewish Society it was very male-dominated women were inferior same status as a slave, they have no voice. So why women oh how he values us we are doing his work.
This is how important you are as a wife a mother a sister a daughter. Easter is about Redemption there's no need to fake because you are redeemed. Easter symbolizes a new day, a new day to be you to have your identity in Christ to know how strong and important you are, especially how important you are to the Lord.
So all these women were with him doing his work he could feel the pain in these women they were at his feet weeping, but he knew the joy all the joy that would come. Despite the struggles of each of us he extended Grace and hope to women first. How did he do it? A woman saw Jesus first the woman that was Weeping at his feet! This speaks volumes how precious is that it could have been one of the disciples it could have been one of the men but oh how sweet it was Mary Magdalene.
He placed a woman to go tell the good news that his son is risen. He thinks you are precious he places you right where he needs you! He values you more than you think, more than you could ever know. No need to march with a sign no need to pretend you're someone else no need to manipulate the real you because your identity is in Christ Jesus!! I know my worth because He Loves Me to the Cross and back!
