August 12, 2012: Jesus and Women – Michael Hidalgo

Throughout the gospel of Mark Jesus is constantly interacting with women, and heralding them as examples of a devoted disciple. This was scandalous in his day, and sadly is still scandalous for many today. How should we then, follow Jesus’ example and continue to honor and empower women? What would it look like in our day to empower the lowliest, and those without a place in our society and our world? What we see in Jesus is a radical new direction in his vision of women and the place they play in the Kingdom.
