The testimony of women

Morning: Psalm 136; Exodus 13:1-2, 11-16; I Corinthians 15:51-58
A striking aspect of the stories of the Last Days, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus is the testimony of women. The role of women is central ... they recognize the truth about Jesus; they have compassion and care for him (defying cultural constraints); and, they testify to the truth of his life, death and resurrection. The (male) disciples’ do not believe the women’s testimony until Peter discovers, amazed, that it is true. The Way of Jesus has no place for a one-sided, male-dominated perspective on the world. Strange how slow we are to accept Jesus’ Way.
