Luke 8:1-3
(vs.1) After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and
village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom
of God. The twelve were with him, (vs.2) and also some
women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary
Devotional (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come
out;(vs.3) Joanna the wife of Chuza,the manger of Herod’s
household; Susanna; and many others. These women were
Reading: helping to support them out of their own means.
Mark 15:40
Roman 4:13-25 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them
were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger
and of José's, and Salome.Other Women in Ministry Joanna – Wife of Chuza,the house-steward of Herod the Tetrarch. Though the mention of her is brief, one is convinced of her genuine conversion, the depth of her love for Jesus, and faithfulness of her stewardship. (Luke 8:3;24:10) Suzanna – One who ministered to Jesus of her substance, because Susanna had been cured of diseases she joyfully ministered and helped to spread the good news of Christ. (Luke 8:3) Mary mother of James Jose, and Salome – Mary was likely a women of some means, as Scripture tells us that she was one of the women who had followed Jesus and “cared for his needs”. (Mark 15:41)
Background Scriptures
John 20:10-18
(vs.10)Then the disciples went back to where they were
staying. (vs.11) Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As
she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb (vs.12) and saw
two angels in white, seated where Jesus body had been, one
at the head and the other at the foot. (vs.13) They asked her,
”Woman, why are you crying?” (vs.14) At this, she turned
Devotional around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize
that it was Jesus. (vs.15) He asked her, "Woman, why are you
crying? Who are you looking for? "Thinking he was the
Reading: Gardner, she said “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me
where you have put him, and I will go get him.” (vs.16) Jesus
Roman 4:13-25 said to her, "Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in
Aramaic, ”Rabboni”(which means “Teacher”). (vs.17) Jesus
said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to
the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, "I am
ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your
God.’’’ (vs.18) Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the
news: “I have seen the Lord” And she told them that he had
said these things to her.Mary Magdalene Jesus follower Mary Magdalene, Magdala being her birthplace or home, located on the sea of Galilee, three miles northwest of Tiberias. Mary was one of Jesus most prominent Galilean female disciples. The first mention of Mary in the gospels is in (Luke 8:2). Mary was a devout follower of Jesus and was the first of his disciples to see Him after His resurrection (Mark 16:9;Luke 8:2;John 20:11-18). Many scholars believe that because Mark writes that seven demons were removed from Mary ,that she was of bad character and an immoral life- style. Some suggest Mary had mental conditions that caused her to see things, others allude to the possibility that she was a “Prostitute”. The bible is not confirm this. Mary's grief in not knowing where the Lords body laid obscured her vision, even as Jesus stood before her she did not recognize him. However, when the Jesus spoke her name, she knew it was the Lord. Do we lose sight of Jesus during difficult times and sadness? Mary Magdalene is a model of a wounded person who was healed and made whole by the love of Christ. Mary was called and commissioned by Him to serve in his ministry of the kingdom. This commissioning to “go and tell” is an affirmation for contemporary women; Jesus was and is intentionally gender-inclusive, establishing the place of women in the proclamation of the gospel through Mary. Jesus promises that no matter where you are or where you come from or what you have done, he can find you, if you allow Him in your life.
What does God say about women in the Bible • God created mankind, He created both “male and female”. Both were created in God’s image.(Genesis.1:27) • And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make a helper suitable for him (Genesis 2:18). • Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:24) • Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord (Proverbs 18:22). • House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord (Proverbs 19:14). • Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit, they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring (Malachi 2:15). • And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God (Luke 1:30). • And, behold, thou shall conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus (Luke 1:31).
How did the Jewish community view Women in the Bible A woman had no voice in her marriage. Her father decided whom she would marry, when she would marry, and why she would marry. A woman could not divorce her husband under any conditions, only a man could initiate a divorce. Jewish women were to be seen as little as possible in public. If a man was seen talking to a woman in public, it was shame in ancient Israel. Women depended on their husbands for biblical knowledge, they could not be taught by the Rabbis. Women were considered inferior to men. They were regarded as property just like cattle and slaves. Jewish males during the 1st century in Israel, prayed a daily prayer that shows how poorly Jewish men looked upon women. • Praise be to God. He has not created me a Gentile. • Praise be to God. He has not created me a woman. • Praise be to God. He has not created me an ignorant man. * We see today, that these practices are still in place in some parts of the world.
How did Jesus' view Women • Jesus regularly addressed women directly while in public, this was unusual to do. The women caught in the act of adultery (John 8:10-11),Widow of Nain (Luke 7:12-13),The woman who called him from the crowd (Luke 11:27-28),the women bent over for 18 years (Luke 13: 11-12),and a group of women on the route to the cross (Luke 23:28). • Jesus speaks with the Samaritan women and led her to a conversion experience (John 4:7-11) • Jesus lifted women from the agony of degradation and servitude to the joy of fellowship and service. • Jesus also did not gloss over the sins in their lives, he held them personally responsible for their own sin. Each had the personal freedom and a measure of self- determination to deal with the issues of sin, repentance, and forgiveness (John 8:10-11) • Jesus valued their fellowship ,prayers, service ,financial support, testimony, and witness. • He honored women, taught women, and ministered to women (Luke 10:38) • Jesus addressed to the woman with the issue of blood as a “daughter of Abraham", Thereby giving her a spiritual status equal to that of men (Luke 13:16). • Jesus did not think it strange that Mary sat at his feet, assuming the role of a disciple (Luke 10:39). • Jesus loved Mary & Martha, his friends. (John 11:5)) • There were women in the upper room on the day of Pentecost (Act 1:14).
The Elephants in the Room (1 Timothy 2:11-15) (vs.11) A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. (vs.12) I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. (vs.13) For Adam was formed first, then Eve. (vs.14) And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the women who was deceived and became a sinner. (vs. 15) But women will be saved through childbearing if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. Note: Paul was protecting the church. The Ephesian church had a particular problem with false teaching, and the women lacked Biblical knowledge to discern the truth, that they might have fell victim too. After women were properly taught the “good news” then they were able to teach and minister to others. (1 Corinthians 14:34-35) As in all the congregation of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. Note: Paul was asking women not to flaunt their Christian freedom during worship. The purpose of Paul's words was to promote unity ,not to teach about women’s roles in the church.
There are many women who are named in the bible, that we know very little about. But God thought them worthy and important enough to be included by name. There are over 1523 women either named or mentioned women in the Bible. 184 named, 220 daughter or daughter-in-law, 400 wife or wives, 311 mother or mother-in-law, 8 widows, and 400 unnamed. Some of the most courageous leaders were women, although the culture was male-dominated. There were many wealthy women who helped/support in the establishment of the early church. Note: Some were either successful businesswomen or widows with means. These women took on multiple roles and huge risk that were pertinent to the early church's success. The work often done behind the seen can be as equally important. All of the women in the Bible are pieces of a puzzle that was created by God., that leads us to Christ.
