Ragged by the events that took place in Israel in the past
few days, two men were did not recognize him when he walked beside them, they
longed for him to create a physical Kingdom to through of the Roman rule and
free Israel. They had a short cited view of what he accomplished; he did not
only establish a Kingdom, but removes sins and makes us citizens of his
spiritual Kingdom.
Jesus asked what they were discussing; they gave him
questions back, are you the only stranger in Jerusalem? They could not
recognize him because they hadn’t encountered the risen Lord. These two men
were present when he was brutalized but could not tell of the risen Lord. These
two men after recognizing him asked him to stay with them; he will only stay
with us if we stay according to his will and wishes.
The significance is the spread of the gospel. Jesus
resurrection was the ultimate sign that what he said was true, his
resurrection. Today, we need to follow Christ. The virteous woman is
spiritually minded, is a blessing.
Mary Magdalene took spices to the tomb early in the morning
when Jesus had resurrected showing the caring nature of women. They would
always prepare the smallest for their families. The first witnesses were women
after they saw Jesus. Hence were the first evangelists, all women therefore
qualify to be apostles. They were witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus.
Mary’s character trait was the vehicle by which the
incarnate Christ was transported to the world. Dorcas was a woman whose
dressmaking made her famous, she made an impact in her community, was the cause
of revival and she conveys the truth of the Christian faith because Jesus was
after raising her from the dead made people believe he was Lord and had power
over life and death hence their belief in him. Hannah was also mother of the
high priest, prophet and seer. She exhibited faith and dedication in prayer and
is always serious in faith.
Deborah was a wife, prophetess, an agitator and a warrior.
She never feared, was brave intelligent and fearless. Confident in God’s word.
She fed the men of David and saved David from bloodshed.
As women, if we want the Lord to stay with us we must spread
his word, to everyone around. May grace be ours to do whatever our hands can’t
do us onto the Lord. Amen
