Women Who Knew Jesus
God’s love—it often goes unnoticed. Frequently we look for the kind of love from people we forcibly appoint to, to fill that missing void we thought they can fill to the brim, but in reality, it’s only God’s love that can keep our cups full and contented.

A part of Jesus’ life was living an ordinary life among his fellow Jews when the land of Israel was included in the Roman Empire boundaries.
