Jesus flipped the script on how women and children were viewed and treated. He grew up in the same male dominated culture of his day yet he elevated women and children. He respected the woman at the well. He welcomed children to his knee and invited them to participate in miracles. He refused to shame the woman caught in adultery. He even took orders from his Mother! Ultimately, he chose a woman to be the first to know of his resurrection and preach it to others. Jesus celebrated and represented the qualities in women as characteristics that came from God because they’re attributes of God. Today, we celebrate the women in our lives that have believed in us, pushed us to greater heights, and taught us what God is like.
