In Him (The Centrality of Christ)


Listen Later

Martha bustled around, ensuring every detail was perfect for their esteemed guest. She swept, cleaned, and prepared a sumptuous feast, her mind racing with the countless tasks.


Her sister Mary, however, had one priority - to sit at Jesus' feet and drink in His teachings. While Martha grew increasingly disconcerted by the seemingly endless chores, Mary's full attention remained on the wise words falling from the Lord's lips.


Finally, overwhelmed, Martha came to Jesus. "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me."


With gentle rebuke, Jesus replied, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."


In that moment, Mary realized that amidst all the needful preparations, she had grasped the most vital tool - the Centrality of the person of Christ amidst all of life's pursuits. Her sister had focused on performing countless duties, while Mary's choice was to prioritize being with Christ.


In this episode, we discussed how it is In Christ that our entire life holds together because He is the source and sustainer of our Life.

My prayer is that it blesses your soul and enriches your walk with God.
