"Sister Sister"
Jesus went to Bethany a small village on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives to visit His friends Mary, Martha and Lazarus. When Jesus arrived, Mary sat at His feet, but Martha started making dinner and attending to household chores. While Martha was doing all the work she became irritated that Mary just sat at Jesus’ feet and spoke on it. Luke 10:40-42 Martha asks Jesus to tell Mary to help her but Jesus replies to Martha, don’t worry about all those details. He was implying that Mary was sitting and enjoying the visit and she should also.
A few Key details of the visit
1. Sat at Jesus’ feet
Martha:
1. Worried about details
2. Wanted to please and serve
3. Found it hard to relax and enjoy Jesus’ visit
4. Found it hard to accept Mary’s lack of help
