Comment who this was! Are you stuck😕⬇️ Read the passage here:
📚 The Bible Story of Mary and Martha comes from Chapter 10 of the Gospel of Luke. Mary and Martha, who are sisters, open their home to Jesus as he travels with his disciples. As Martha hurries to ensure the preparations, Mary simply sits at the feet of Jesus and listens to the wisdom of Christ. Martha then says to Jesus, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" Jesus replies, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
Moral and Meaning of Mary and Martha
This Bible story is a great example of focusing our whole awareness of the presence or Word of God. There is a clear dichotomy in behavior between the sisters, Mary and Martha when Jesus arrives at their home. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for how we can react to the teachings and presence of Jesus and God in our own lives. While Martha becomes preoccupied with worrying about the preparations of their home, she misses the opportunity to listen and learn from the direct wisdom of Jesus. When she pleads to Jesus that Mary should help her, He responds with, "Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." It is better to give our full attention when in the presence of the Lord, whether personally as Mary was or when reading the Word of God as we do now. Doing so provides us with the best opportunity to fully understand and incorporate the wisdom from scripture into our beliefs and actions!
