Women who met Jesus - John 2, 4, 7, 11, 19

“I learnt more about Christianity from my mother than from all the theologians in England.” John Wesley

So many sermons have been preached about Esther and Ruth. I have done series in the past on both – and we have heard from Rahab and Hannah.  Sunday I will turn out attention toward just a few that came in direct contact with Jesus and what was the result of each encounter.  It is Mother’s Day so let’s hear from some of the women who met Jesus – women who came to see Jesus as Messiah – Savior – Lord – God!  I cannot cover them all but I will do a few of my favorites – all from John.  I originally thought I could cover 7 but as the weeks have progressed toward this Sunday 7 seems too ambitious (too long as well).  What richness can we gain by studying the influence of women like Mary the Mother of Jesus or the sisters Mary and Martha or even Mary Magdalene?  So, I will look at 5 and hopefully we can hear the words of Jesus to them and about them and they can be inspiring for our mothers on this Mother’s Day and everyone else too.  

See you Sunday –

Happy Mother’s Day!
