encounters with Jesus: Mary and Martha

encounters with Jesus: Mary and Martha by ric Gustafson


Two sisters, Mary and Martha, encounter Jesus several times throughout the gospels. In one encounter, Jesus arrives at their home. Mary spends the time at Jesus's feet listening to his every word. Martha on the other hand is busy with the hostess duties. She becomes frustrated with her sister for not helping her and tells Jesus. Jesus replies that listening is one of great importance. Jesus was not condemning her but reminding her not to ignore him.
Mary and Martha's brother was Lazarus who was raised from the dead by Jesus.
