Women Who Found Forgiveness

Jesus was very committed to helping women. He related to them with deep compassion and tenderness. Many of the women he met were in unhealthy relationships. Many were hurting, needing comfort or looking for love. Each woman brought her own hurts, her own pain, her own confusion, her own chaos, her own story. Yet each one also left having forgiveness and hope. Here are their stories:

Jesus speaks to a woman at a well (John 4:1-42)
Jesus comforts a woman who was sorry (Luke 7:36-50)
Jesus heals a sick woman (Mark 5:24-34)

Jesus visits with Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42)

Jesus cares for his mother (John 19:25-27)
