In another episode involving another meal with Jesus, we see how a desire to practice hospitality can quickly sour into feelings of resentment and self-pity. This occurs when the busyness of serving for Jesus distracts us from Jesus. Don't read this story as a rebuke of Martha for serving too much, but do read it as a warning if serving is done at the expense of listening to the words of Christ.
