Women serving God

in #women7 years ago

Misogyny plagued the world for so long and even creeped into otherwise brilliant minds like Tertulian's.

"You (women) are the devil’s gateway: you are the unsealer of that forbidden tree: you are the first deserter of the divine law . . . You destroyed so easily God’s image, man.”—TERTULLIAN, ON THE APPAREL OF WOMEN, SECOND CENTURY C.E

Yet the last men standing in support whilst Jesus was breathing His last were mostly ... women:

John 19:25
"Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene".

The first person to see Jesus after He rose up from the death was...

John 20:18
"Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her."

Nobody can deny the destructive power of sin expressed equally through both women or men.
But it seems God often has a women as the last human bulwark standing against evil when many men have long given up on their call to serve God.
