Sunday, as we come to lesson # 3 in our current preaching series, we revisit the way Jesus valued and dealt with the women of His day. I think you might be surprised at the culture of that time and the view that was taken of women and the manner in which they were treated. Jesus violated those cultural norms in so many ways as He invited women into the close circle of His companions. It is so interesting and important to look at some of these stories and to understand a love that came to and for everyone in His own special way.
