No self respecting Rabbi of Jesus’ day would have women as disciples.  Yet Mary sat at His feet (that’s what disciples did) hanging on every word (Lk 10:41-42).  Women traveled with Him and also supported Him out of their means (Lu 8:2-3).   Women were the first proclaimers of the resurrection (Luke 24:22).   Dr. Jerry Porter said, “Paul saw a vision of a man saying, ‘Come over and help us’ (Ac 16:9), and when he got there, it was a woman.”  Lydia opened her heart to the gospel and her home to Paul and Silas (Ac 16:11-15).  Women were cast into prison along with men (Acts 22:4) because they were the same threat to proclaim Jesus as the men.  Be thankful for women who are faithful to follow Christ wherever that leads.
