The BEST Choice.

 

Luke 10:38-42

Martha and Mary.

38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.

Jesus prioritizes sincere faith over material things.

 Jesus visits the home of Martha and Mary, where he contrasts good things with the best things.

Martha works to prepare dinner and

Mary sits and listens to Jesus.

 People should not be distracted by tasks and miss out on being with Jesus. 

Prioritize the Lord.

The Lord is content with your presence and spiritual presence, so you don't need to prepare a lot for him. 

You should focus on what's important and better than anything else, which is the Lord. 

Invite Jesus into your life.

Jesus invites people to sit and rest in his presence, hear his words, and know that they are loved.
