For My Daughters: Following a Savior Who Sees Women
For My Daughters: Following a Savior Who Sees Women
As a father of three daughters, I often find myself reading the Gospels with fresh gratitude for the way Jesus treated women. Matthew 28:1 is a perfect example.
In a world where women were often overlooked, silenced, or diminished, Jesus did something revolutionary. He saw them. He spoke to them publicly. He welcomed them as disciples. He received their devotion. He trusted them with responsibility. And at the resurrection, he entrusted women with the first announcement of hope the world would ever hear.
Matthew tells us that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb at dawn. They were not sent as messengers because their culture approved of them. They were chosen because Jesus did.
Jesus elevated women not by slogans, but by action. He restored dignity where it had been denied. He affirmed worth where it had been questioned. He showed that in God’s kingdom, value is not assigned by gender, race, status, or power, but by being made in the image of God.
As a dad, that matters to me. It tells me that my daughters’ voices matter. Their faith matters. Their courage matters. Their calling matters. And the same Jesus who welcomed women to the center of his story still does today.
The resurrection itself was first carried on the voices of women. That is not a footnote in the Gospel; it is a declaration of how God sees His daughters.
