FRIDAY- 24th  WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –B
Gospel: Luke 8:1-3: With Jesus went several women who provided for him out of their own resources.
I Reading: 1 Timothy 6:2-12: As a man dedicated to God you must aim to be saintly.
Jesus and the Women who Supported Him, 8:1-3
This is an interesting passage. It shows that Jesus received financial support for his ministry. There were some women, apparently well-off financially, who supported Him.
1. They supported a ministry of preaching (v.1)
a. It reached out
b. It was true to the gospel: the kingdom of God
2. They supported a ministry of discipleship (v.1)
a. Mary Magdalene: A dark past
b. Joanna: A lady of the king’s court
c. Susanna: An unnoticed follower
d. Many others: unknown
Thought: The women supported a ministry of discipleship. Although Jesus appointed the twelve disciples and later on it was soon to be the Great Commission to all His followers.
