Luke 10:38-42

Jesus visits Martha and Mary -- Luke 10:38-42: As Jesus and His disciples were traveling they went into the home of a man named Lazarus, of Bethany; his sisters were Mary and Martha. Martha welcomed him into her home. Mary, the sister of Martha sat down at the feet of the Jesus and was listening to what He said. In the mind of Martha this caused a serious problem. She was worried about all that had to be done. She went to Jesus and said, "Lord, doesn't it bother you that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me!" Jesus' reply to her is well know, "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things." Martha was worried and upset about so many things. Jesus wanted her to understand that those things were necessary but that what Mary had chosen was more important. He said. "Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her." The salvation of the soul is the first and greatest of all human concerns.
