The Women Who Followed Jesus (Luke 8:1–3)
In Luke 8:1–3, some women are mentioned whom only Luke mentions this early in his Gospel: Mary, Joanna, Susanna and “many others.” These same women witnessed Jesus’ crucifixion (23:49), burial (23:55), and resurrection (24:1–3). They stuck with him till the end and were there at the new beginning. Their only reason for doing so was that they were healed by Jesus and had now committed to following him. By considering these hidden figures, we’ll learn that, if we have received grace, we will graciously give in return.

The Roman church had many difficulties to deal with. One of them was the way in which Jews and Gentiles were to relate to one another in Christ. Paul exhorts them to not pass judgement on one another any longer. They are rather to consider how their actions might affect the walk of a fellow Christian. Such an exhortation is important to obey as pride so often hinders worship. The example of Christ and the work of his gospel bring people together in such a way that true worship takes place.
