Today’s reading: Luke 7:36-50, 8:1-3

“and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:2-3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Women have always played a vital role in what God has done in the world from the beginning. Even Jesus’ earthly ministry had women supporting it financially.

In our culture, that downplays the significance of biblical gender identity, it is refreshing to see that it mattered throughout the whole of Scripture.

Women have things to offer and bring that men could never accomplish in the same way.
Same thing with men.
Both men and women have been uniquely created to live out the calling that God has placed on their lives.

Though we are not differentiated by value (both men and women hold equal value), we are differentiated by the unique roles we play in marriage and in God’s kingdom.
