Ezer Rising's Post

I follow a group on Facebook called "Ezer Rising". It's a site that supports women in leadership and the philosophy of marriage called egalitarianism. I saw this post today and absolutely loved it. Jesus was such a liberator...and still is! :)

---

* The women who followed Jesus were rebels.
* They talked to Jesus when it was socially discouraged.
* They discussed theological matters even though it wasn't their place.
* They sat at His feet and learned, despite the fact only a male rabbi student was allowed to do that in their day.
* They followed Jesus and served Him of their own free volition, without any man's permission.
* They preached and preached and preached about the Son of God, even when human men wouldn't give them a platform.
* Above all, they had a strong, immovable faith in Jesus that the most powerful and educated religious leaders in their day didn't have.

Like these women... be a rebel.
