THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF WOMEN TODAY

EARLY ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK, MARY MAGDALENE WENT TO THE TOMB. THROUGHOUT THE SCRIPTURES WOMEN PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE, AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE CHRISTENDOM SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERESTIMATED. WOMEN WERE THE LAST ONES PRESENT AT JESUS CROSS AND THE FIRST AT HIS TOMB, THEY WERE THE FIRST TO ANNOUNCE HIS RESURRECTION AND THEY WERE UNDOUBTEDLY PRESENT AT THE FIRST DOMESTIC  DEVOTIONS.WHILE JESUS MINISTERED TO CROWDS OF GALILEE. HE WAS SERVED BY A GROUP OF WOMEN WHO USED THEIR OWN  POSSESSIONS TO  SUPPORT HIM AND HIS DISCIPLES. WHEN THE APOSTLES FIRST ARRIVED IN EUROPE THEY WERE WELCOMED BY WOMEN.
