Very nice! Thanks! I was also remembering that Christ first revealed Himself as the Messiah to a sinful, outcast Samaritan woman, who then (literally) led her whole village to Christ. Perfection is balance and it’s so easy to fall over on one side or another of an issue. God sent His Son to reconcile ALL of His creation to Himself. That would include male and female. In Christ there is no male or female, Jew or Greek, slave or free. There is only humility at the foot of the cross.

Yes! The story of the woman at the well is so powerful — she became a martyr, Saint Photini. I didn’t know the rest of her story until a year or two ago, but it’s incredible:

Amen! She believed him when no one else would. I love the women who show up in IESOUS CHRISTOS Genealogy too!

Pray fervently and carry on. It was most likely Priscilla who wrote Hebrews... and she is mentioned first as well when it says ..."Priscilla and Aquila took Apollos and taught him..." so that he may speak more accurately. There were women prophetesses and of course, women judges.
