Women watch from a distance; Matthew 27:55-56, Mark 15:40, Luke 23:49
And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance watching these things. (Luk 23:49 ESV)
So much of my life has been on the sidelines. My faith is there, I just do not push it to full activation. So through a lot of my life I sat on the sideline and watch the game of life. There were many reasons for this. Maybe I was scared of success, or of failure. Maybe I have been hurt by others. Maybe it is both, or other things as well.
Jesus does not call us to be on the sidelines, we are not to follow at a distance. But if I do, I am in the company of many saints who did so themselves. And I am not to judge them for what they are doing, because when I look deep inside myself, I do so also.
Read for next time: Request that legs be broken: John 19:31-32
