Discipleship |  |
Read for This Week's Study:
Memory Text:
| | "Then Mary said, 'Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word' " (Luke 1:38, NRSV). |
| | Women were, one way or another, intimately involved in Christ's ministry, even from the start. Mary, His earthly mother, gave birth to the infant Jesus. Of course, only a woman could have done that, but her example of faith and submission remains a powerful one for all who would seek to be a disciple of Jesus. Then, all through the Gospels, we can see the crucial role of women. From Mary the mother of Jesus, from the woman who touched His garment and was healed, to the woman at the well, and others, it is clear that a woman open to the prompting of God's grace could be a follower and disciple of Christ. In an attempt to gain more insights into what it means to be a disciple, this week we will take a look at how Jesus interacted with some women. |
This Week at a Glance:
| | What incredible things was Mary, Jesus' mother, asked to accept on faith? What does the Bible say about the role of women in the ministry of Jesus? What can we learn about discipleship from the story of the woman at the well? |
