Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and
Salome. In Galilee these women had followed Him and cared for His
needs. Many other women who had come up with Him to Jerusalem
were also there. (Mark 15: 40-41)
Women watching, following, caring for His needs, what was it about
this man that the women were moved by? Was He outrageously
handsome (the Bible never really comments on His good looks)?
Were they engaged by what He said? Maybe they had never met a
man so gentle and compassionate and honest with women? Perhaps,
they really understood the truth that Jesus spoke (not necessarily
what the men of the Bible have interpreted as the truth) but the
TRUTH that sets us free!
I believe that the women knew with the eyes and ears of their heart.
I think they got the message a lot faster and more clearly and I think
some of the TRUTH got lost along the way. I believe, in my heart of
hearts, there is much more truth for us to discover if we open our
hearts and minds to the endless possibilities of God’s creation.
Give thanks! There is abundance in God’s realm, and He has made it
available to all.
