Martha and Mary, sisters, welcomed Jesus into their home. These ladies love Jesus. While Martha showed hospitality, she was distracted from hearing Jesus' teaching because of her desire to serve the Lord. But Mary sat at Jesus' feet, listening intently to Him. Martha became frustrated with Mary for not helping her prepare food. And Jesus responded tenderly to Martha not to be anxious about many things, that Mary has chosen the one necessary thing – listening to His Words – which will remain with her forever.
