Be Proud You’re a Woman

It sounds almost as if that bit of prose came from the pen of a women’s libber, or an advocate of women’s rights, but it is actually the very embodiment of Christianity which elevates the status of womanhood.

Jesus Christ broker radically with some of the contemporary ideas about women. Unlike the Rabbis who chose not to touch a dead person or a woman, Christ included women such as Mary, Martha, Mary Magdalene and others in the ranks of His followers.

Paul wrote in Galatians 3:28 that in Christ there is no such thing as the inequality of the sexes but we are one in His sight. That does not for a moment eliminate the differences complementing the roles nd relationships of men and women, but don’t you, women, ever be ashamed that you are women.

It was a woman who gave birth to God’s Son on that first Christmas morn. Women were last at the cross and first at the tomb. Jesus pronounced immortality on only one person – a woman who wept over His feet and then wiped them with the tresses of her hair. Guidelines or commandment number one is a good one. Honor your womanhood and never be ashamed on it.
