How God Hears Us: The Powerful Presence of Women in the Resurrection Story with Elisa Morgan
Manage episode 477329694 series 3363948
Happy Holy Week! I pray that you've been able to take time this week to be in God's Word studying the significance of what Jesus did for us on the cross. When you stop and truly think about it, it brings you to a place of awe. Not only did Jesus sacrifice himself for our sins but God the Father sacrificed His only son for people he knew would still be rebellious. But he loved us so much that it was worth it. WOW! The reality of that can bring you to your knees pretty fast can't it?
This week is all about Easter but looking at it in a new light. I had the blessed opportunity to talk with Elisa Morgan about the women who were at the cross and why that was so significant. Elisa was named by Christianity Today as one of the top 50 women influencing today's church and culture and is one of today's most sought-after authors, speakers and leaders. She has authored over 25 books on mothering, spiritual formation and evangelism. Elisa co-hosts the Our Daily Bread Ministries podcasts Discover the Word and God Hears Her. For twenty years, Elisa Morgan served as CEO of MOPS International and now serves as President Emerita. She has studied women in scripture more times than I can count, so I asked her to come and share with us about the topic!
Her insight on this was priceless and I'm so excited to share this conversation with you. Jesus was revolutionary for women. He rewrote the narrative for their worth in the culture and helped people realize how important women are to God. Not elevating them above men but making it known that they are just as precious to him as anyone else. Jesus came to raise up the lowly against what society taught.
Key Takeaways!
- Easter returns us to awe
- Jesus was revolutionary for women, they were often overlooked & undervalued and he valued them greatly
- Jesus came to redeem everything & everyone
- Stop looking for the living among the dead, we are tempted to go back to those places where God showed up once and look for him there again - don’t miss him right here and right now
- Jesus’ redemption of us on the cross allows God the Father to see us through the righteousness of Jesus, we need to live like it!
