Now I understand the story of Martha and Mary. You expained it and taught it so beautifully. I am called to be Martha, my sister called to be Mary. It made me bitter. In my bitterness Jesus answered my prayers of asking Jesus Why with two words, Be Still!" Ive tried to understand and now you have explained it so beautifully. Thank you so much for helping me to understand what Jesus was teaching us in this story.
Thank you!!! Your study is the 1st I've seen that supports what I believe to be true in regard to Martha - that these are two separate scenarios of Mary sitting at Jesus' feet and Martha serving. The first scene in Luke 11 seems to be early in Christ's ministry, while the second scene in John 12 appears to be at the beginning of the Passion week. Most commentators focus on Mary's devotion as better than Martha's serving. Yet we see the development of Martha's faith as she grows to understand serving from a healthy soul, living out her spiritual giftedness with love toward her Lord and in shalom. I love this!!!
I’m playing Martha for our Ccd all saints party. Not by accident as I am learning to find gods Rhythm for my life. Such a struggle as a mother to find the Martha Mary balance! Holy Spirit made it clear to me in your entry ….. Mary morning Martha day…. I have been struggling to give my holy hour in the am cause I’m so exhausted from my Marthaing all day…. Thank you you truly are an amazing teacher!!! Much love sister in Christ ❤️
I share your struggle; trying to find God’s rhythm in my life now that I began something new by actively serving my church community. I just got convicted by the Holy Spirit because I am neglecting my intimate time to be with Jesus by letting myself get distracted while I serve Jesus. Praying to the Holy Spirit to intercede in our behalf and help us (you and me) be a Mary in a Martha world. 🙏💕
Amen thank you somuch , we’ll explained👏🏼👏🏼 it’s all about Jesus at the end🙏 Ilove how you showed the different characters to be beneficial in serving ❤️❤️
Two women stand in the presence of the creator of the Universe. One sister is so overwhelmed she wants to ask Jesus every question under the sun and worship him. The other wants to make the perfect meal and serve it to him. But the question here is, does that perfect meal show Martha's pride in her abilities and not enough interest in the Word and it's very presence in front of her ? I know as every human being does that the pride of humans in their own abilities can overwhelm us. Trying to make us the center of attention.
Luke 10:43 "And Martha said unto Mary, 'Leave him and help me now, sister.' And Mary did so. Jesus waited patiently for his hostesses until they were ready to serve. And Martha and Mary taught humankind a new way to live."

God ALMIGHTY bless you and your family! Thank you so much for shining your light in the darkness! This teaching is very good!
One of my favourit studies of Mary and Martha!
Wowww... Thank you for this.. i never knew there was so much to learn from Martha as well..
Our world needs Mary and Martha because our world needs Jesus.
This is so good. Thank you for this helpful study & explanation. 📖🤍🙌🏽
Wow... I never really saw the story this way... Thank you so much for this video
Me either
Thanks so much.
God bless U always
Well done. I used to see through the either-or perspective, but slowly starting moving towards the balance-of-both perspective. Thank you.
Asking “where do we see Jesus in this person & that person” rather than “why can’t that person just be like me?” Thank you for your time and wisdom!
Thank you for sharing this story, I love the manner in which you told it.. I'm alot like martha.
EXCELLENT teaching!
Amen this was a very nice Teaching thank you for sharing
Totally enjoyed & helpful
Thank you 😊
Nicely done. Really good perspective!
We could either Go boldly before the Throne
Or We could wait on the Lord and He will renew our strength
My name is Martha it's so good to find out where my name comes from
Gracias. Thanks
Thank you
My guess is that Martha is older than Mary.
Amen

Two women stand in the presence of the creator of the Universe.
One sister is so overwhelmed she wants to ask Jesus every question under the sun

The other wants to make the perfect meal and serve it to him.
But the question here is, does that perfect meal show Martha's pride in her abilities
and not enough interest in the Word and it's very presence in front of her ?
I know as every human being does that the pride of humans in their own abilities
can overwhelm us. Trying to make us the center of attention.
I wonder if you missed the point - read Luke 10:42
Thank you for this teaching. I'm researching for a book that I'm writing and this truly blessed me and gave me deeper insight.

Does Jenny have Instagram or FB page? 🤔🤔🤔
❤❤❤🕯️🌻🌠🎉❤️Ty.
Just remember when Mary, jesus and hair get together. THEY ARE DOING IT. Fact.
Luke 10:43 "And Martha said unto Mary, 'Leave him and help me now, sister.' And Mary did so. Jesus waited patiently for his hostesses until they were ready to serve. And Martha and Mary taught humankind a new way to live."
Great teaching! Although I thought that was Mary Magdalene who wiped Jesus’s feet with her hair.🤔
