A Lutheran pastor preaching on Jesus’ encounter with Mary and Martha in Luke 10 declared that our Lord got it wrong. The minister declared: “Jesus needed to have his worldview and the purview of his goodness expanded. . . . Jesus needed to learn his lesson and stand corrected.” He went on to assert that the passage, which he claimed was initially used to silence women, has been employed over the centuries to elevate the importance of theological education and engagement for them. But here’s the good news: God wants to help us trust his word and his character. We can pray, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24 NKJV), and he will answer our prayer.
