Pastors John Mury and Dave Swaim discuss Luke 10:38-42: "Immediately after the parable of the Good Samaritan, we encounter a living parable with Mary and Martha. Jesus uses both occasions to tear down the barriers that we use to keep our distance from the 'other.' We all fall into the trap of judging others for not being like us, or just as dangerous, we judge ourselves for not being like others! Jesus wants us to delight in our differences rather than denigrating or dismissing them."
