Jesus came to earth not primarily as a male but as a person. He treated women not primarily as females but as human beings. Today’s top ten list spotlights ten women in Jesus’ life: Mary, his mother; Elizabeth, Mary’s cousin; Anna the prophetess; Mary Magdalene; Joanna, wife of Chuza; Mary and Martha of Bethany; Mary, wife of Clopas; Salome, mother of James and John; a woman with an issue of blood; and a woman with a demon-possessed daughter. From these examples we learn about the value God places on women and the ways in which we ought to engage with Jesus.
