\"Gustafson,<\/a>Even though 2,000 years have passed between Jesus\u2019 death and my birth, I want to do anything and everything I can to enter into his story. Following the church calendar and observing Lent have become valuable spiritual practices for me. They help me grow closer to Jesus.<\/p>\n

During Lent I fast more and pray more. I read the Gospels with the attentiveness of an actress taking up the script (and the role) of a lifetime. How I wish I were an eyewitness of Jesus Christ! Careful reading, a healthy imagination, and the Holy Spirit have become a portal into my savior\u2019s world.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve joined Jesus\u2019 story this Lenten season, I\u2019ve found myself zeroing in on the women \u2013 where they are, what they are doing, and what emotions they display. As a woman, a pastor, and a writer, I\u2019m often disappointed that we don\u2019t have a gospel account penned by a female disciple. After all, \u201cMany women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.\u201d <\/em>(Mt. 27:55)<\/p>\n

Jesus had many more than 12 disciples, a fact which we too often forget. Remember that he sent out 72 disciples to proclaim the coming of the kingdom of God! I picture bands of disciples spreading out from Jesus like concentric circles. The women who followed Jesus and cared for his daily needs were certainly near the center circle. Whether or not they were formally commissioned among the 72, I imagine many women were overcome with the joy of the Lord. I picture them breaking away and hurrying back to their villages and families to share all that they had seen and learned at the rabbi\u2019s feet.<\/p>\n

These women who followed Jesus \u2013 I see them everywhere: first as guests at the wedding in Cana, then sitting on a hillside in Galilee listening to Jesus preach, walking with Jesus along the dusty road to Judea, ringing a crowded upper room as they feasted on bread and wine. Where Jesus went, his disciples went. Women counted whether or not they were numbered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where Jesus went, women went \u2013 even<\/em> when he went to his death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Jesus was nailed to a tree to die, witnesses, \u201cbeat their breasts and went away. But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching…\u201d <\/em>(Luke 23:48-49) When Jesus suffered and died, the women who followed him watched.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

When the inner circle of disciples scattered in shock and disbelief at the death of their master, the women stayed. They accompanied his body to the tomb. Joseph of Arimathea \u201crolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb. <\/em>(Mt. 27:60-61) The women who followed Jesus kept vigil.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus\u2019 body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb\u2026\u201d <\/em>(Mk. 16:1-2) The women who followed Jesus sought to tenderly care for his body.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the angel met them at the empty tomb and proclaimed the good news of Jesus\u2019 resurrection, \u201cthe women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet full of joy, and ran to tell his disciples.\u201d <\/em>(Mt. 28:8) The women who followed Jesus hurried to proclaim the resurrection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One their way to obey the angel\u2019s command, they encountered Christ himself. When Jesus greeted them, the women, \u201ctook hold of his feet and worshiped him.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>(Mt. 28:9)<\/p>\n

Ministry can be isolating, especially for women. Even when you have supportive colleagues, it\u2019s difficult to be the only woman on a pastoral staff. Even when your denomination theologically affirms and ordains women in ministry, it is discouraging to realize how many churches won\u2019t hire you because of your gender.<\/p>\n

Ministry can lead to suffering \u2013 the kind that leaves scars. Ministry hurts when parishioners lash out, blaming pastors for their pain. Ministry has made me an eyewitness to horrors I never thought I\u2019d see, like the emotional fallout of rape; families torn apart by adultery; women trapped in abusive relationships and the organizations that ignorantly support their abusers. I\u2019ve seen the palpable hopelessness of the mentally ill. Churches crumbled by the arrogance of senior pastors following their own way rather than the Lord\u2019s. I\u2019ve been a part of communities too absorbed in their own privilege to notice or care for the marginalized among them.<\/p>\n

Ministry is painful, but it also leads to great joy.<\/p>\n

Ministry has ushered me into life\u2019s most sacred celebrations. I\u2019ve cheered at baptisms, prayed blessings over new babies, and officiated at weddings. I\u2019ve witnessed friends long lost to sin, repent and once again rejoice in the Lord. I\u2019ve held hands with the dying and sang hymns and spiritual songs as they\u2019ve taken their final breath. I\u2019ve preached the good news of the kingdom of God to hundreds. I\u2019ve seen communities reconcile and begin to thrive after years of fracture and discord. In all of this, I realize, I am<\/em> an eyewitness to Jesus Christ!<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a woman in ministry, I feel intimately linked to the women who followed Jesus 2000 years ago. I carry their mix of emotions, I\u2019m afraid yet full of joy<\/em>. Following and serving Jesus is difficult \u2013 surely, the most difficult thing I will do \u2013 but the reward of abiding joy is worth any cost.<\/p>\n

I pray that I \u2013 and every women who loves, follows, and serves Jesus \u2013 will have the courage to stay with him, even when the path leads to suffering. And I pray that when we encounter Jesus, we will follow the example our sisters set long before us \u2013 that we will fall at his feet, take hold, and worship him.<\/p>\n

\"Women-at-the-cross\"<\/a><\/p>\n

May God bless you this Easter season.<\/p>\n
