Jesus was a revolutionary in His relationships with women. He was unafraid to break man-made cultural taboos, although He was careful never to transgress God’s law.
Jesus talked with the woman at the well and the widow of Nain (Luke 7:12–13).
He cast demons out of women and healed them (Matt. 9:20–22; Luke 8:40–56,13:10–17).
He lifted up women as examples as He preached (Matt. 25:1–10; Luke 4:26, 18:1–5, 21:1–4), and He taught women along with men, a highly controversial act in that day (Luke 10:38–42, 23:27–31; John 20:10–18).
Jesus did not flinch when a sinful woman anointed Him and scandalized the religious guys who witnessed her devotion (Luke 7:36–50).
Jesus was close friends with Mary and Martha, women He loved like sisters who had Him over to eat in their home (Luke 10:38–39).
Women were among the most generous financial supporters of Jesus’ ministry (Luke 8:1–3).
And women were granted the great honor of being the first to discover Jesus had risen (Matt. 28:1–10).
Read some of these verses to see Jesus’ true feelings about women.
