In The Eyes Of God https://testflight.apple.com/join/om8voNVm
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, 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 8:1-3).
As God’s people, He equips us for various tasks. All of the tasks He equips us for all lead to the same goal, honoring God. Each of us men and women has a role which carries exclusive privileges that should eliminate any attitudes about a superior or inferior sex, or race. Jesus lifted women up from their lowly state of agony and degradation and servitude to the joy of fellowship and service. I Jewish culture, women was not allowed to learn from rabbis. This attitude more than likely trickled to other races and was followed as the norm of society s a whole. This holds true even unto today in many cultures. By allowing these women to travel with him, Jesus was showing that in the eyes of God all people are equal. The women here that traveled with Jesus supported the ministry with their own money. A great debt was owed to him because he had driven demons from some and had healed others. Just as in the church you have people that work in the background, behind the scene. Often it is the people who work behind the scenes that support the ministry and their work, in this case, their the women who traveled with Jesus their work is no less essential. Whether you are going to be on center stage or not offer your resources to God.
