* Women are an important part of the Biblical story. Perhaps not specifically named, they are on almost every page. As you study the Holy Land, remember:
• So many woman! Many unnamed and unnoticed! Women are seen everywhere, “people, children of Israel, the congregation, the crowd, the multitude, town, cities,” etc…all include women and children. Where the men went, there were women. Where there were armies or navies, there were women. Women were witness and participants to all the events in the Holy Land.
• People traveled and settled where there were three key ingredients: water, food and protection (security). Women bore the children, managed the household and took care of the men. Women supported men and were their ‘helpers.’ Women complemented the men.
• Water means life, and where there was water, there was civilization, and women, children and families (pools, wells, oasis, lakes, wells, etc.)
• Wherever children are mentioned, there are women. Jesus blessed the children and healed the adults. The significant male characters of Scripture had mothers, sisters and other female friends and relatives who looked on in amazement and were often caught up in the nomadic lifestyle, the times of famine or plenty, miracles, and results of warfare through the centuries The ‘crowds’ and ‘multitudes’ included women.
• For almost every well known man there are women in his life as mother, wife, sisters and friends. Kings had hundreds of unnamed concubines. The enemies of Jesus, and Israel, had wives and daughters. Several of the apostles had wives that followed Jesus.
• What affected the men, affected their wives and families: wars, peace, punishments, plagues, and promises. As wars were waged, cities destroyed, peoples taken captive, women and children were displaced, killed, taken captive.
• Warfare meant the making of widows.
• God used women in unique and magnificent ways. Mary, the mother of Jesus, Miriam rescuing Moses from the water, Michael rescuing David from those who would take his life, Lydia the first convert in Europe, Esther rescuing the nation from genocide, Jael killing the enemy of Israel, and many more.
“From the ancient world until now, society stands or falls according to its infrastructure, that is, the family, over which the wife and mother is to preside.” (Holeman Bible Dictionary)

Review of Technique
This is a great point to go back and review my Bible Study technique.
INTRODUCTION TO THE “SLL” TECHNIQUE
“Stop! Look! Listen” most of us heard as a child, from our parents as they taught us about crossing a busy street. I have adapted it to remember the basic steps of an in-depth Bible Study.
First of all, “Bible Study” is just that – study. It is not just reading through a passage or a daily devotional. “Study” has been defined as the act or process of applying the mind so as to acquire knowledge or understanding (Websters NewWorld Dictionary, 2nd ed, Prentice Hall, New York, 1986). This is a Bible Study blog.
Use a translation that is as close to the original language as possible. Do not use a paraphrase such as the Message or Living Bible. These are wonderful translations and very worthy of reading - but not for study. Use one of the translations that Bible scholars most often recommend : KJV, NKJ or NAS
A summary of the Stop! Look! Listen! technique.
1. Stop! Come to a halt and look around! Read it slowly as a general overview.
2. Stop! Identify any words/concepts that you might not understand. For instance, geography, do you know where Capernaum is located? What is a Pharisee? Who are the Caratites? Many times we quickly read over words that we do not really understand. At this step just identify these words/concepts. Make a written list. You cannot study without pen and paper in hand.
3. Stop! Read it a second time.
4. Look! Pay attention. Focus in on what is important. Look at what Scripture says. Anything that is not Scripture can be error. The main focus of Bible Study is…the Bible. Commentaries, footnotes and study notes are man-made and may contain error.
5. Look Left! Study what comes before this event that might influence the story.
6. Look Right! Study what comes after this event. How did this story and characters influence the future? Write down your answers.
7. Look! Scan the horizon. This means to identify and research the geographical locations. Geography must be important to God because He mentions it so often.
8. Look! Research all that you really do not understand (see the list you made in Step 2). Write! Write! Write!
9. Listen! Read it again.
10. Listen! Apply what you have learned to your life. Your walk (off the curb and across the street) is directed by what you have learned by Stop! Look! Listen! Perhaps you will hesitate. Perhaps you will run. Perhaps you will turn in a different direction. You are on the curb and must do something. You study the Word of God to change into more of what He wants you to be. Listen to what God is saying to you and apply it to your life – today.

ANNA - Part III
For the "just for fun" section on Anna I thought about a modern day hymn that she might sing. The hymn by Charles Wesley: Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus seems to echo what Anna might have said:
Come thou long-expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free. From our fears and sins release us; let us find our rest in Thee. Israel’s Strength and Consolation, hope of all the earth Thou art. Dear Desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart.
LOOK ! Each book of the Scripture, or section of Scripture has a key that is the cornerstone of what the author is trying to say. After reading Luke 2:36-38, write a key verse or phrase that gives an over-all theme for the story of Anna. Even in this short section there must be a phrase that is a summary.
LOOK! “Scan the horizon.” Where did this story take place? Find it on the map in a Bible Atlas, the back of most Bibles, etc… Do you know where Jerusalem and the Temple are located in Israel? Can you find Israel on a 2007 map?
LOOK! Spend time in this step to research and study what the verses are saying.
Read the verses again.
Return to the list of words and questions that you wrote in “STOP” section. Use a Bible Dictionary, Bible Encyclopedia, Commentaries, etc… research this list.Write down your findings. If you research the key words you will have great insight into these simple verses. How can you apply what you have learned to your life today?
Part of “LOOK” is to “Look right and look left” just as you were told as a child crossing a street. See what has happened before the story of Anna and then see what comes after the story of Anna.
a. Look left! Read Luke 1 and 2:1-35
b. Look right! Read Luke 2:39 – 3:38.
How do these verses impact your understanding of the story of Anna? Are they related in any way?
Continue to ask questions.
Again, why study Anna? Three little verses. Why is her story important? If Jesus said the every jot and tittle are important (Matthew 5;17-18), then the few short verses about Anna must be important. What is God trying to teach us?
LISTEN! as we come to the end of the study:
Scripture says "listen and obey." (Ps. 81: 8, 11,13; Jer:21)
Read Luke 2:36-38, God has spoken to you through the story of Anna – the first woman to see the Baby and recognize him as the Messiah. What did you learn from this study, and how are these words written so long ago applicable to your life today? Be specific. List three things that you learned, and/or can apply to your life today.

ANNA - Part I
Anna - A “First Ladies” of Scripture
Luke 2:36-38
Anna is one of the “first ladies” of Scripture. She is the first recorded woman to see the Baby, and to recognize who He was. Only three short verses speak of Anna, yet God has given us her story for a reason. Let us begin our study of this very interesting woman.
STOP! (Return to the post for April 20 to read an introduction to this technique.)
1. Stop and ask yourself, “Why am I studying Anna?” What do you already know about Anna?
2. Gather information. Read Luke 2:26-38, the story of Anna, several times.
3.Start a list of key words, repeated words or concepts you might not understand in these verses. In order to fully understand the story of Anna you must dig-deep. Do not research these yet(You will research in the LOOK section). Despite the fact that this is just three short verses there are key words/concepts that may need more research:
Here is an example- you might list these (are there more?)
a. Anna(is she mentioned in any other books of the Bible?)
b. “There was also a prophetess” (What is a Prophetess? A prophetess is one who speaks to the people for God.)
c. “Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher”(What was the tribe of Asher?)
d. “She was well along in years, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage”God mentions not only marriage, but age. Why is this important?)
e. “and was a widow for 84 years”(What about widowhood?)
f. “She did not leave the temple complex"(Where did she live? What about the temple complex?)
g. “ serving God night and day with fastings and prayers”(What is Fasting? Why is prayer mentioned?)
h. “At that very moment, she came up and began to thank God”(giving thanks must be important.)
i. “and to speak about Him to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.”(What does this mean? What is the redemption of Jerusalem”?
j. Add any additional to your own list:

SAMARITAN WOMAN- Part V
Now LISTEN!
What is God saying to you through the story of the Samaritan Woman. What did you learned through this study?
It is one thing to read a study - but we mst always apply it to our life. What are three things that you have taken from this story that you can apply to your life today?
In my personal life this story has great impact. I did not reach out and take the gift of eternal life until I was 42. I had led a worldly life. I had been married and divorced. God in his mercy arranged for me to ‘meet Jesus’ at a Bible Study (thank you Judy Widergren for inviting me to that study!!) After three weeks in the study of the Gospel of John, in a moment of time I realized that Jesus is God and I was, and am, a sinner. I believed who He was, took the gift of eternal life. I have never been the same. Now I go and tell others about Jesus through my life, my teaching, and my writing.
How is the Samaritan Woman like you? Unlike you? The grace of God and His love for all people shines through this story. Is there a “Samaritan Woman” in your life that needs you to tell her the story of this woman? More importantly, John 4: 13-14 “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give to him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give to him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
Have you had a drink from the “fountain of water springing up into everlasting life”? Has your own life been changed for all eternity by meeting the Messiah? If not stop at this very moment and pray. Tell God that you know you are a sinner and that Jesus died for you. Tell Him that you surrender your life to Him from this moment on.

SAMARITAN WOMAN –Part IV
This is a very familiar event. The story of the woman of Samaria is told often. It is seen from several frames of reference:
(1)The story of the woman of Samaria is important to our understanding of techniques of evangelism. How did Jesus speak with her? How did she approach the people of the town?
(2)The story of the woman of Samaria is important to our understanding that the Gospel of Salvation is for Jews and Gentiles (non-Jew) alike. How is this point made?
(3)The story of the woman of Samaria is important to our understanding of how much Jesus cares for women. How is this point made?
In this study we have focused on the fact that this woman was the first person, to whom Jesus confessed that He was the Messiah. He tells no one else until His trial. (Peter and Martha realized it, but Jesus TOLD this woman.) The first recorded person to whom Jesus reveals that He is the Messiah is a pagan woman. Why might He have chosen this woman?
As the last step in the “LOOK!” section, go back to the verse that you identified as the key verse. Now that you have studied this story in depth, would this still be the key verse?

SAMARITAN WOMAN- Part III
LOOK! Scan the horizon. Where is this event taking place?
Verse 4 states, “He had to go through Samaria.” Why did He “have to” go through Samaria?” In the story of Zaccheus in Luke 19:5, Jesus said that He “must” stay at your house.” Did Jesus ever “have to” or “must” do anything else as recorded in Scripture? This would be a very insightful study.
Look Left! Look Right! As we study Chapter 4 of the Gospel of John briefly review Chapter 3. In both chapters Jesus speaks to two very different people about salvation. One is a religious man, and one is a worldly woman. Compare and contrast not only the message of Jesus, but the approach of Jesus. How are they similar/different? Why?
Read what happens to Jesus after His meeting with the Samaritan Woman (the rest of Chapter 4), and after he left Samaria.

INTRODUCTION TO THE “SLL” TECHNIQUE
“Stop! Look! Listen” most of us heard this from our parents as they taught us about crossing a busy street. I have adapted it to remember the basic steps of an in-depth Bible Study.
First of all, “Bible Study” is just that – study. It is not just reading through a passage or a daily devotional. “Study” has been defined as the act or process of applying the mind so as to acquire knowledge or understanding (Websters NewWorld Dictionary, 2nd ed, Prentice Hall, New York, 1986). This is a Bible Study blog.
Use a translation that is as close to the original language as possible. Do not use a paraphrase such as the Message or Living Bible. These are wonderful translations and very worthy of reading - but not for study. Use one of the translations that Bible scholars most often recommend : KJV, NKJ or NAS
A summary of the Stop! Look! Listen! technique.
1. Stop! Come to a halt and look around! Read it slowly as a general overview.
2. Stop! Identify any words/concepts that you might not understand. For instance, geography, do you know where Capernaum is located? What is a Pharisee? Who are the Caratites? Many times we quickly read over words that we do not really understand. At this step just identify these words/concepts. Make a written list. You cannot study without pen and paper in hand.
3. Stop! Read it a second time.
4. Look! Pay attention. Focus in on what is important. Look at what Scripture says. Anything that is not Scripture can be error. The main focus of Bible Study is….the Bible. Commentaries, footnotes and study notes are man-made and may contain error.
5. Look Left! Study what comes before this event that might influence the story.
6. Look Right! Study what comes after this event. How did this story and characters influence the future? Write down your answers.
7. Look! Scan the horizon. This means to identify and research the geographical locations. Geography must be important to God because He mentions it so often.
8. Look! Research all that you really do not understand (see the list you made in Step 2). Write! Write! Write!
9. Listen! Read it again.
10. Listen! Apply what you have learned to your life. Your walk (off the curb and across the street) is directed by what you have learned by Stop! Look! Listen! Perhaps you will hesitate. Perhaps you will run. Perhaps you will turn in a different direction. You are on the curb and must do something. You study the Word of God to change into more of what He wants you to be. Listen to what God is saying to you and apply it to your life – today.

The answer to the quiz from yesterday:
Athaliah was the first Queen of Israel/Judah.
Anna was the first woman to recognize the infant as the Promised Messiah.
Hegar was the first single-mom.
Tamar was the first women mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus.
The woman at the well was the first one to whom Jesus declared that He was the Messiah.
The daughter of Jairus was the first and only woman, that Jesus raised from death.
Deborah was the first female judge/government leader of Israel.
How did you do?
At the next posting we will begin the study of Hegar using my study technique of "Stop! Look! and Listen." Tomorrow will be an introduction to the technique.
