Martha was distracted with much serving.
Luke 10.40
Martha:
The sister who serves.
Serving is not always a negative experience.
Often we get very busy with our serving.
- We do good things
- We help others
- We forget our relationship with Jesus
Mary:
The sister who sits.
Sitting is not always dull.
Mary wants to be fed, to grow in faith.
She stays at Jesus’ feet
- In sorrow. John 11
- In adoration. John 12
- To learn. Luke 10
Some people believe that Mary sat at Jesus feet because he was her rabbi.
That is-
She was becoming a disciple
She was preparing for ministry
Take Away Point:
Christians must maintain a balance between
Serving and
Being served.
