Southside Family,

 

March is Women's History Month, but more importantly it is Easter! Let's look at how Jesus dismantled the prejudicial customs against women of His day.  He not only invited women to be fully engaged with His teaching and ministry, but He appeared to women first as the Resurrected Savior - a fact that is recorded in all 4 gospels, including Mark.  Bro. Lynn recently asked us to remember that John Mark was a real person, not a fictional character, not without flaws, but used by God in a mighty way to record history from his own viewpoint.  So it was with the ladies who were Jesus followers. They were not perfect, and they certainly were not regarded as important members of society or reliable messengers. Yet, they are exactly who Jesus used to spread the message about the empty tomb and the Risen Savior. That tradition continues today. Many times, people hear about Jesus for the first time from a mother, a grandmother, a female teacher or friend.  Jesus proved that He came for every person (male and female) by giving ladies a place in His story and inspiring the authors to record it. "It was early on Sunday morning when Jesus came back to life, and the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene—the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons. She found the disciples wet-eyed with grief and exclaimed that she had seen Jesus, and He was alive! "(Mark 16:9-11) Each of us must continually point people to Jesus and share the same good news today -  HE IS ALIVE!

Happy Easter!
