TREAT WOMEN LIKE JESUS DID!

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 Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. - Luke 8:1-3

     THIS ONE'S ONLY FOR THE GUYS!

     I often wonder, "When Jesus saw a female, what went through his mind?"  I wonder what he thought about them.  Did He think about how pretty they were?  Did He think about how they might help the Kingdom of God?  Did He think about their role in society?  Did He just kind of pass them by because in His day they weren't very important?

     Well, today we get a little glimpse.  Today we see that Jesus, at least in some part, thought of them as disciples.  It struck me, that it wasn't just the twelve who were hanging out with Him - but some women.  It also struck me that it was only the twelve - only the disciples and a bunch of women.

      We never get that picture do we?  We never think about Jesus and his disciples.....and women.  We don't hear too many sermons or read too many books about these women who were with Jesus.  We don't see them in the paintings.

      And maybe that's part of the reason, us, as guys, get a warped view of women.  Maybe we've let society and the media show us how to think about women instead of thinking about them how Jesus did.  Maybe we could learn from Jesus, and have the first thing that pops into our head when we see a woman pass by on the street be - DISCIPLE!

      Just a thought!
