Mary was one of the women who were laborers together with Paul in the gospel. She bestowed much labor on his behalf and on behalf of others, working hard for him and for them. Her example proves that the Lord has a work for women to do as well as for men. The good work for God that women may accomplish as she did requires first learning in the school of Christ the lesson of meekness, bearing not only the name of Christ but possessing His Spirit, walking even as He walked, and purifying the soul from everything that defiles. That work benefits others by presenting the all-sufficiency of Jesus.
