The Good Portion

Series: Season of Pentecost 2019

In our Gospel text from Luke 10:38-42, Jesus visited Mary and Martha's house. We know the scene well: Martha was busy serving while Mary sat at Jesus' feet, doing nothing, and listening to His teaching. Martha complained to Jesus that her sister wasn't helping her with serving. Jesus, however, gently invited Martha to see that her sister had "chosen the good portion," and that it would not be taken away from her. The "good portion" will not be taken away from us, either. Jesus chose us, even before we decided to go to church. And we will not be taken away from Him.
