Choose to Do the Good Part!
This passage from Luke 10 led me to drink from a deep well and brought me to a quiet sea.
This is a moment when Jesus visits a place, and two sisters respond in such distinct ways as they welcome Christ.
Martha responds in a hectic manner—a very busy kind of service for Jesus. She should tho, because it is her house.
Mary, on the other hand, responds so intimately that she does not help her sister with the other tasks, choosing instead to remain in the presence of Christ. Jesus commends Mary’s actions, saying that she has chosen the good part and that Martha is troubled.
In the coming of Christ, we see that Mary responded best. In this passage we learn what to do and how to welcome the arrival of Jesus Christ. Even when we have Him in our houses, there is a better response that He deserves.
In my own understanding, Martha’s response was so good that I would do the same thing. However, in the coming of Jesus, no amount of busyness equals what Jesus desires for us to do when He comes. He wants us to do the good part. Jesus did not ask for much work and service, but only the good part.
Now we want Him to come into our homes and into our lives.
Do we know whom we are inviting?
Are we going to show how busy we are and forget to sit with Him?
So we must reflect on these responses to know how to welcome Jesus.
His second coming is near. His arrival is imminent. How are we going to welcome Him?
There is no better way to receive and welcome Christ than TO BE SEATED at His Feet.
Choose to do the good part, and it will never be taken away from you.
