People in this hurting world can only find peace in the suffering of Jesus. A hurting person needs to reach out and gain understanding of their life pain through the love of Jesus Christ.
Jesus tells the Parable that the kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed. It is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a strong, courageous, faithful loving mother. She experienced fully the calling of the LORD God and embraced the hardship that came along with it. She is a wonderful example for all Christian mothers to emulate.
Eve is the first woman we will study because she was the first. She was created as a helpmate for man. Because of Eve there are many lessons for Women of Christ to understand. We were created in the image of the LORD just like Adam was.
