Luke 8:2 “and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities– Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,”
Mary Magdalene is the first of several women mentioned here. We don’t know a lot about her, but the possession she was delivered from is notable. Unfortunately she is often misrepresented by those who try to guess the rest of her history. Some have even tried to see her as a romantic interest of Christ. However, Mary was a common name at the time and there were likely several women Jesus knew named Mary, including His mother.
What we can learn is that Jesus was not against women. Many have tried to paint a picture of Christianity based solely upon human actions, not the true nature of the faith. The Bible does not have a negative view of women. On the contrary, the involvement of women in the Bible is quite noteworthy, and somewhat unique in ancient literature.
Heavenly Father, thank You for making Your truth available to everyone, regardless. You don’t discriminate by the color of our skin, our sex, or any other physical characteristic. You have made us different. But, You treat us all fairly. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
