human history. 8He is risen!9 The Lord elevated these women
to a position of honor and equality, giving them a voice and a
mission.
This was not just about elevating women; it was about
Jesus dignifying all people. He came to restore value to
everyone the world had discarded, rejected, or deemed
worthless. On resurrection morning, Jesus demonstrated that
in God9s kingdom, everyone matters. Everyone has worth.
Everyone has a voice. Everyone can be a witness.
Heavenly Father, we hope women find comfort in knowing
they don9t have to compete for equal attention in Your
kingdom. You value women, as shown through Your Son
Jesus. Keep working through us to reach women whom
society has dismissed as worthless. It is a joy to serve as tools
of restoration in their lives. In Jesus9 name, Amen.
