Liberty Ladies💜
What if we’ve rushed past the women of Easter too quickly?
We know the cross.
We know the empty tomb.
But do we really know the women who were there?
This Lent, we are slowing down and paying attention.
From now until Easter, every Tuesday and Thursday, we’ll focus on a different woman in the Easter story. Women who showed up when others ran. Women who poured out what was costly. Women who stayed in the sorrow. Women who walked toward the tomb while it was still dark.
Their stories are not side notes. They are sacred.
And through them, we are going to see more clearly the heart of Jesus.
Not to become more like them.
But to draw closer to Him.
Today, we begin with a woman who chose what was better.
Mary of Bethany.
Let’s look closer. 🌿
While others were busy preparing and serving, Mary chose to sit at the feet of Jesus.
Later, she would pour out expensive perfume on Him. While others calculated cost, she recognized worth. She sensed something holy unfolding.
Reflection Questions:
• Where am I distracted when Jesus is near?
• What does choosing presence over performance look like in my life?
Prayer for today:
Jesus, make us women who choose what is better.
