Those women have been more faithful than any of Jesus' male disciples in standing by the Lord in his journey to the cross and to his tomb. When those faithful women go and tell the disciples what has happened, their testimony was dismissed as mere nonsense by the male disciples. Yet all of us, male and female, must realize that the earliest witnesses of the resurrected Jesus were the women who stood by him through his ministry and through his death, all the way to his resurrection. Those trailblazing heroes of our faith in the resurrected Savior include "Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and several other women." I don't know about you, but there are also numerous women who have pioneered the way for my faith to find the resurrected Jesus.
