“WOMEN in Jesus’ day weren’t treated well. Understatement. They had few choices, held no positions, and were often considered less valuable than the men.
But not to Jesus.
The adulterous woman was caught in the act and dragged to Jesus for judgement. But He called her accusers hypocrites, dispersed the crowd, and extended her grace.
The bleeding woman found Jesus and, upon touching his robe, was immediately healed of her twelve-year-long affliction. In front of the crowd that had deemed her unclean, Jesus honored her for her faith.
The Samaritan woman was drawing water from the community well at the hottest time of day. Translation: she was avoiding people because of her seedy reputation. But ahead of everyone else on earth, Jesus told her He was the Savior they’d been waiting for.
And she got to tell the others.
Bottom line: when the world chose to abuse, alienate, or brutally judge these women, Jesus chose to rescue, restore, and redeem them. To ascribe them value.
Because Jesus makes us what we’re not.” (“The Chosen”)
