Good evening. Great is His faithfulness.
Luke 8:1-3
Many Women Minister to Jesus
8 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and [a]bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and [b]infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for [c]Him from their [d]substance.
These women where extremely faithful to Christ to the end -(Luke 23:49, 55), and they were also the first to receive and also proclaim the news of His Resurrection- (Luke 24:1-10). The number seven in the Scriptures often symbolizes totality and completeness, and letting us know that Mary called Magdalene had been completely given over to the darkness before her healing.
These women helped to fund the ministry of Christ when He dwelt among us.
