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.
