Jesus visits the home of Martha, and while Martha was concerned with service, hospitality, and getting things ready, her sister Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to Him teach. When Martha approached Jesus about Mary’s lack of help, Jesus commended Mary’s choice compared to Martha’s large workload, likely preparing food for dozens of guests. Jesus says that Mary chose the “good portion” and when you look at what that good portion that Mary chose is... it's Jesus. It's easy to get caught up with the busyness of life and focus less on the best portion, that being Jesus and what He gives us: His Word, His Sacraments, and with that comes forgiveness and salvation.
