Jesus & Women
Dieter Randolph

In the midst of a culture where it was considered shocking for a man to speak publicly with a woman who was not a relative, Jesus acknowledged the pure Self of every soul.

When the Canaanite woman \\u2013 an outsider -- begged Jesus to heal her daughter, at first He seemed hesitant, but when she beseeched Him, He spoke the word for the daughter\\u2019s healing.

I am willing to be healed because I am worthy. I am worthy to be healed because I am willing.

Jesus\\u2019 Pharisee host was shocked when a woman of the city anointed Jesus\\u2019 feet at a banquet, but Jesus replied that she was forgiven because she loved so much.

I am forgiven because I love. I love because I am forgiven.

When Jesus asked a Samaritan woman \\u2013 with whom Jews would ordinarily have had no dealings \\u2013 to draw water from the well for Him, He told her about the living water of His Truth teachings.

I seek Truth because Truth alone satisfies me. Truth satisfies me because I seek only Truth.

When the scribes and Pharisees asked Him for a judgment about a woman caught in adultery, He said that the one among them who was without sin should cast the first stone.

I do not condemn because only the Christ is innocent. Because the Christ is innocent, I am not condemned.
