She did a fine deed toward me. . . . She did what she could.—Mark 14:6, 8.

 

At times, sisters may need someone to speak up for them when they face a specific challenge. (Isa. 1:17) For example, a widow or a divorced sister may need someone to help her care for some tasks that her husband used to do. An elderly sister may need help to speak to medical professionals. Or a pioneer sister who works on other theocratic projects may need someone to speak up for her if she is criticized for not being in the ministry as often as other pioneers are. Consider Jesus’ example. Jesus was quick to speak up for his spiritual sisters when they were misunderstood. For instance, he defended Mary when Martha criticized her. (Luke 10:38-42) And he defended Mary a second time when others berated her for making what they thought was a bad decision. (Mark 14:3-9) Jesus understood Mary’s motive and commended her. He even prophesied that her kind act would be recounted “wherever the good news is preached in all the world.” w20.09 24 ¶15-16
