Mark 6:19 mark16
Christ spent so much of his time trying to have women included in the church as equal members. This verse is one proof. When he had arisen, he appeared first before Mary Magdelen, who was NOT the forgiven prostitute. He told her the most important news in the New Testament, that he had risen from the dead. He gave her this news, but when she told the disciples, they did not believe. So Christ had to appear before them and even let Thomas put his hands into his wounds.
Poor Jesus! He had to work with the people he had around him. He could not remake their natures. He could not make Doubting Thomas into Confident Thomas, nor could he get Peter not to betray him, even with repeated warnings! And here it happens again that Christ makes it perfectly clear that women may preach to men, and what happens!?! Then, of course, Paul got his prejudices going and small men have oppressed women ever since. |
