George Fox emphasizes the significant roles of women in the early Christian church, highlighting their faith and actions as examples for all believers. He discusses Mary, the mother of Jesus, and her acceptance of God's word, as well as the faith of women like Elizabeth, Anna, and the Canaanite woman, who all played crucial roles in proclaiming Christ. Fox points out that women were not only witnesses to Jesus' life and resurrection but also active participants in spreading the gospel, challenging the notion that women should be silent in the church. He encourages women to embrace their calling and serve God with their gifts, as seen in the examples of Dorcas and Lydia.

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the importance of memory, affection, and intellect in our relationship with Jesus, as exemplified by Mary, who treasured and pondered the things she heard about Him. He encourages believers to remember the works of Christ, to hold Him dearly in their hearts, and to engage their minds in deep meditation on His nature and deeds. Spurgeon urges the congregation to not only cherish their memories of Christ but to actively express their love and devotion, likening their hearts to an alabaster box pouring out affection. He challenges them to seek a deeper understanding of Jesus, urging them to go beyond surface-level engagement and to invite Him to abide with them. Ultimately, he calls for a heartfelt embrace of Christ, even when understanding may fall short.
