Luke 10.38-42Jesus visits the home of Martha and her sister Mary. Mary finds time to sit and listen to Jesus, but Martha is too busy with her chores. Martha grumbles about the lack of help from her sister, but Jesus suggests that, right now, listening to what he has to say is the most important thing to be done.
The story of Mary and Martha has sometimes been used to enrol Jesus on the side of those working for the emancipation of women from domestic roles, or by those who see domestic hospitality as a lesser form of discipleship or mission. But is either of these really the point? How should we respond to Jesus?
This week we explore the importance of choosing to listen to Jesus.
