Mark 15:41 “who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.”
And how exactly did these women minister to Christ? There were many things that would need to be done that the men would have been unable, or unwilling, to do. While in Gallilie, we find Him often at Peter’s house. These ladies may have shared in assisting Him and His mother. For Him to care for her, she would need to stay with some of these other ladies as she would not have gone with Him every time He ventured out if town.
What is truly interesting here is that so many women followed Him. Indeed, it seems He had a good mixture of male and female followers. This is still true in the church today. It is not a men’s only club. Men and women are involved together in the kingdom of our Lord.
Heavenly Father, Your plans are perfect. You have built Your church as You see fit. It is diverse but beautiful. Thank You for the opportunity to serve in it. It is a blessing to our souls. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
