20240616 6PMp CD Mary and Martha with Jesus c QandA
In New Testament times, writings were written on scrolls, up to about 30 feet long. Luke’s writing in his gospel and in the book of Acts are the longest in the New Testament. Why did Luke include this story of Jesus with Martha and Mary in his gospel? The point in this story may readily be missed or misunderstood. In keeping with the way our world thinks, we may often seek to earn our way, by doing things for Jesus and for God. But we can never do enough to earn our way. Jesus, by his death and rising again, has provided the way for us. Mary chooses to be with Jesus, and to listen to him. This is better, this is what is needed. And it shall not be taken away.
