Soon afterward [Jesus] was traveling from one town and village to another, preaching and telling the good news of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary, called Magdalene (seven demons had come out of her); Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who were supporting them from their possessions. (Luke 8:1-3)
In a culture that told women to stay at home, Jesus invited them to come along with Him on His travels.
In a culture where women were relegated to “women’s work,” Jesus allowed them to support the most important work of all: His.
If the question is asked, “Where is a woman’s place?” the answer is clear.
A woman’s place is with Jesus, valued and vital to the Kingdom.
