In a world full of anxieties and distractions, it is hard to live as a disciple of Jesus. Even our service of Jesus and our brothers and sisters alongside us can seem to be part of the problem. Jesus says only one thing is necessary: we sit at his feet and listen to his word.
38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
