Women Matter to God

By Richard

In Mark 5: 21-43 we are shown how Jesus give a huge value to women. A woman who has been bleeding for 12 years, a “filthy” outcast in Jewish society is healed and called a “daughter”. A sick young girl of 12 years old, also of little value in the society is raised from the dead with the tender call of, “Talitha koum” (little girl, get up). We must not miss the strong statement that Jesus is making. Women matter greatly to God. They are as much “daughters” as men are “sons”.
