Newsflash: Women First Witnesses of the Resurrection

Brilliant and awesome. God takes what the world belittles and uses it powerfully in his plans.

In Israel at this time, women were not considered reliable witnesses, but for our Lord, he chooses them, a marginalized group, to see him first and announce his resurrection.

Knowing people would question his resurrection, isn't it uncanny he chose women to prove his case? Everyone is significant to God. We see affirmation of this in Galatians 3:26-28 (ESV):

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
