How Jesus Loves Women
(And Why That Still Matters)
As Valentine’s Day approaches, love is everywhere.
It shows up in cards, flowers, social posts, and carefully chosen words meant to communicate affection and value. For many women, this season brings warmth and connection. For others, it can stir longing, loneliness, or old wounds.
But beneath all of it is something true and shared: every woman wants to be loved — to be seen, known, and valued for who she is.
Long before love was commercialized or romanticized, Jesus showed us what love looks like in real life. Not as an abstract idea, but as something embodied — attentive, personal, and deeply honoring.
Jesus Was Quietly Revolutionary
When we read the Gospels, one thing becomes clear:
Jesus consistently treated women in ways that defied the norms of His time.
He listened to women publicly.
He spoke with them directly.
He defended them when others condemned them.
He invited them into learning, discipleship, and relationship.
He trusted them with truth — and even with testimony.
This wasn’t accidental. And it wasn’t performative.
Jesus saw women fully — not as problems to fix or categories to manage, but as image-bearers worthy of dignity, presence, and love.
That’s why, this week, we’ve been slowing down to focus on Jesus and women — not as a debate, not as a comparison, and not as a critique of anyone else’s beliefs. Simply as an invitation to watch Jesus and notice His heart.
Love That Lifts, Not Pressures
So much of the love women experience in the world comes with conditions:
Be this. Do more. Try harder. Stay quiet. Prove your worth.
Jesus’ love is different.
It lifts shame instead of reinforcing it.
It brings women out of silence rather than keeping them hidden.
It heals spiritual wounds rather than demanding perfection first.
This matters — not only for Christian women, but for women everywhere.
Including Muslim women.
Jesus’ Love Extends to Muslim Women Too
Many Muslim women are deeply devoted, prayerful, and sincere in their desire to please God. And yet, many carry spiritual weight — uncertainty, fear, or the pressure to earn acceptance.
What they often don’t know is that Jesus loves them in the same way He loved every woman He encountered: personally, gently, and without condition.
Not with coercion.
Not with shame.
Not with an argument.
But with presence, compassion, and truth.
Before we can talk about loving Muslim women well, we believe it’s important to return to this foundation: how Jesus loves women at all.
A Resource for Reflection
That’s why we’re highlighting the Jesus and Women resource this week.
This short PDF isn’t meant to convince or confront. It’s designed to be devotional, reflective, and grounding — a quiet space to sit with Scripture and observe the way Jesus interacts with women throughout the Gospels.
If you’ve ever wanted to slow down, notice His posture, and let His example reshape how you see women — including yourself — this is a beautiful place to start.

As we move toward Valentine’s Day, our prayer is simple:
That women everywhere would encounter love that is steady, honoring, and true — the kind of love Jesus gives freely.
And that, in time, Muslim women too would come to know that they are seen, cherished, and deeply loved by Him.
