DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 20 to 21:18; Lamentations 1; 1 Timothy 4
There followed Him a great company of people, and of women.
Luke 23:27
Luke highly honoured the women in Jesus’ life. He recorded that, “The women … followed him from Galilee” (Luke 23:49); from the commencement of His public ministry even to His crucifixion, when they stood afar off, beholding Jesus (Luke 23:49). When Jesus was buried, Luke wrote, “The women also … followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how His body was laid” (Luke 23:55). On resurrection morn, it was Mary Magdalene … and other women “which told these things unto the apostles” (Luke 24:10). Thank God for faithul, virtuous women with hearts for the Saviour. —K. C. Ung
He’s risen! He’s risen! Hear the women’s glad cry;
He’s risen! He’s risen! No more will He die. —L. P. Gilmour
