In this section of Scripture, Jesus shows up with His apostles, unannounced, at Martha’s house. Martha, at first, warmly receives them all because Jesus was welcome in her house. Is Jesus welcome in our house? But this is a huge ask and can be viewed from two different angles.
Angle # 1: Jesus just came to my house!
Angle # 2: A whole lot of work just showed up at my door.
Martha soon became frustrated in much serving. The wrong perspective was that Martha thought that she was doing something that was more important than what Jesus was teaching. Intimacy with Jesus is always greater that service for Him. Our devotion to Jesus is always better than what we do for Him.
3 warning signs to remind us that we need to return to the feet of Jesus are:
When the person you are upset with does not even have a name anymore.
When we don’t think that God cares anymore.
When we start telling Jesus what He needs to do.
Let us not be worried and troubled over many things. Only one thing is needed.
