English Standard Version
We in the church don't do a good enough job lifting up the women who were part of Jesus' ministry. They weren't just there on Easter, going to the tomb while the disciples cowered in fear. They were there throughout, because their lives had been transformed, and they were supporting the ministry of Jesus with their financial means. They sacrificed to support the ministry.
The church is comprised of so many people doing so much work. It's easy to name a few famous figures, and to look at the local church and see some individuals, but the church is a quilt, sewn together with so many lives, and to only look at a few is to miss the beautiful thing that God is continuously creating, a community where each square intersects, each thread ties into another, and they all come together to form something beautiful.
Pay attention to the details. They matter, deeply, and eternally.
