Today is the second Sunday of Lent and we continue our Lent series "everything [in] between." This week we peek in at a gathering where Jesus and his disciples stopped in at the home of Martha with her sister Mary. One is busy making a meal and the other is just sitting and visiting. In many translations of the story, Jesus says that “Mary has chosen the better part,” which has been used to create a divide between Mary and Martha. However, in the Greek, Mary has chosen the “good portion,” and Martha’s tasks are called “ministry.” Therefore, perhaps Mary represents our faith, our desire to know God intimately, and Martha represents our good works, our desire to transform the world. Both are needed, and both are good.
