"Who Dares To Be Free”
Luke 10:38–42
This passage presents an "either-or" paradigm that can arise from the characters of Martha and Mary...
But we want to avoid that temptation.
There is no “bad sister” between Martha and Mary—they are both human.
Something to keep in mind is that, at any point in our lives, we may find ourselves reflecting a Martha-like posture or a Mary-like one.
A key lesson from this Scripture is that we all live in a state of constant distraction.
We are human.
Thankfully, Jesus meets us not with rebuke, but with love—offering an invitation to be present and attentive to God made flesh.
