In this sermon, we explore the lives of sisters Mary and Martha. In this short passage, we witness Martha's bustling preparations and her conversation with Jesus, expressing that she felt overwhelmed while Mary seemingly did nothing to help prepare for Jesus' arrival.

We learn the significance of Mary's devotion, and her expression of worship for Jesus showcases her understanding of what it means to sit at the feet of the Master. Meanwhile, although not condemned, Martha's busyness receives a gentle reminder from Jesus that devotion outweighs duty.

Reflect on the lesson from this encounter—prioritizing being a disciple of Christ over worldly obligations. As we explore the choices made by Mary and Martha, consider how you can strike a balance in your own life. Whether you're a parent juggling a chaotic household, a retiree facing newfound busyness, or a student navigating various responsibilities, find wisdom in choosing the better part: time spent at the feet of Jesus.
