00:01:22.820 --> 00:01:27.820 As Jesus and His disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha 38 00:01:27.820 --> 00:01:29.320 opened her home to him. 39 00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:34.040 She had a sister called Mary who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said, but Martha 40 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.160 was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. 41 00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:41.680 She came to him and asked, Lord, don't you care that my sisters left me to do the work 42 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:42.680 by myself? 43 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.480 Tell her to help me. 44 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.200 Martha and Martha, the Lord answered, you're worried and upset about many things but few 45 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.760 things are needed or indeed only one. 46 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.200 Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be taken away from her. 47 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.200 Yeah. 48 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.520 Because, yeah, beautiful bit of scripture and I think all of us have kind of grown up listening 49 00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:06.080 to the story and whatever shape of form that has come in. 50 00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:11.760 And yeah, I'm excited to dive into what we all think and what we're all taking place. 51 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:12.760 Yeah, yeah. 52 00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:13.760 Let's bring it back to the beginning. 53 00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:14.760 What's going on in here? 54 00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:15.760 I hate that. 55 00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:16.760 What's going on here? 56 00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:17.760 What's going on? 57 00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:27.080 He's Mary, who's Martha, what is Jesus' friends of them with these roundos, who's he 58 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:28.880 travelling with, where's he going? 59 00:02:28.880 --> 00:02:35.520 He's travelling with his disciples, could be around 70, could just be the 12, not very 60 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.400 much people though, to bring into a home. 61 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.160 Either way, it's a lot of people to host. 62 00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:40.600 Yeah, a lot of capacity. 63 00:02:40.600 --> 00:02:43.960 A lot of cups of tea and a lot of bread to be passed around. 64 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:50.120 And also, Jesus' friends with Martha and Mary and then Lazarus, who, so basically Martha 65 00:02:50.120 --> 00:03:02.480 and Mary and Lazarus were siblings and Lazarus is the guy that Jesus raises from the dead, 66 00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:06.240 which is pretty big news, which is actually recorded in the Gospel of John, the raising 67 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.240 of Lazarus. 68 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:13.960 And also, it's a home of the shortest verse in the Bible, Jesus' word, if it's the original 69 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:14.960 language or not. 70 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:20.600 I knew it was going to come back with this already term, but I did feel that somewhere. 71 00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:22.560 I can't remember which verse is it again. 72 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.640 Oh, it's like a festival only, or something, and it's saying rejoice always. 73 00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:26.960 Yeah, rejoice always, yeah, yeah. 74 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:27.960 I love this. 75 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:28.960 I love this. 76 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:29.960 I'm sorry. 77 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:30.960 I just love it. 78 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.520 I love talking about the Bible. 79 00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:37.720 Yeah, basically Jesus is good friends with Martha and Mary and Lazarus. 80 00:03:37.720 --> 00:03:42.560 He's close with the family and him and his disciples are on the way to Jerusalem. 81 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.360 And they're stopping off in, like some scholars say that their home was in Bethany, just 82 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:49.360 on route. 83 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.200 But I mean, we don't know for sure. 84 00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:52.200 Mm-hmm. 85 00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:54.000 Anyways, they're stopping off to get refreshed. 86 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.000 Yeah. 87 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.000 Really? 88 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.000 I actually love that. 89 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.000 I feel like it should be so easy to think of Jesus as this, like, foreign concept that 90 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.240 doesn't have, like, actual friends, like, we read the disciples and we know their 91 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:05.240 friends. 92 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:06.840 No, but, like, he's, like, good as a family. 93 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.880 He's genuinely, like, really good friends where you can go to the house and spend time 94 00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:13.720 with, and have, like, conversations with, like, he was like a real guy. 95 00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:14.720 Yeah, I mean. 96 00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:18.920 He was a real guy, and, like, he trusted them enough to bring, however many of his disciples 97 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:19.920 over. 98 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:20.920 Yeah. 99 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.240 And, like, trust that they would host them. 100 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.920 Then, well, I know it's a lot. 101 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:24.920 That is a lot. 102 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:25.920 Yeah. 103 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:26.920 So then what's the dynamic with Mary and Martha? 104 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:27.920 Okay. 105 00:04:28.200 --> 00:04:31.160 I mean, we were just saying, we feel like Martha feels like an older sibling. 106 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:32.160 Yeah. 107 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:33.160 She doesn't like that. 108 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.040 This is actually accurate of, like, I don't have a reds anywhere. 109 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:37.960 I just feel like she's given older sibling alive. 110 00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:42.840 Yeah, well, it says, like, Martha opened her home to him, and I'm screaming, like, in older 111 00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:44.560 sister sibling, would do that. 112 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:45.560 I mean, yeah. 113 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:46.560 Yeah. 114 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.560 That's true. 115 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:48.560 Her home. 116 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.560 Interesting. 117 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.520 I'm a younger sibling and, oh, let my sister just sort that out. 118 00:04:52.520 --> 00:04:54.560 Wait, what are you really? 119 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:55.960 I did none of the work. 120 00:04:56.960 --> 00:04:57.960 Oh. 121 00:04:57.960 --> 00:04:59.480 Let her do all the cleaning and housework. 122 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:00.480 And serving. 123 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:01.480 Oh. 124 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:02.480 So there we go. 125 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.720 So they all live together, and Martha's hosting them. 126 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.840 And then Jesus comes in, and then Warner happens next. 127 00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:09.840 Let's go through. 128 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:11.400 Verse 39. 129 00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:17.240 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet, listening to what he said. 130 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:18.240 Okay. 131 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.400 So she's sitting at Jesus' feet. 132 00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:23.400 We actually don't know what Martha's doing yet. 133 00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:24.400 We've already read it. 134 00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:25.400 We know that Martha's serving. 135 00:05:25.880 --> 00:05:35.480 But anyways, back in this time, one of the customs for students of rabbis, which is like 136 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.720 the Jewish word for teacher, I'm pretty sure, is that they would posture themselves before 137 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.560 the rabbi by sitting, not always, but it was just one of the postures they could take 138 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.160 what was they were learning. 139 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:50.360 And it was just basically to show their position under the rabbi as making themselves 140 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.160 students before him, but also like humbling themselves and recognizing that. 141 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:56.160 Yeah. 142 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.440 I guess I just said the same thing twice, but it gives me a context of what it means, because 143 00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:05.240 I think again, we don't often go on someone's house and sit at their feet, but that's 144 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.200 kind of what's going on here is that she's, it's a position of learning, it's a position 145 00:06:09.200 --> 00:06:11.080 of like, I respect. 146 00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:14.640 It was commonly like for men, like men would do that. 147 00:06:14.640 --> 00:06:15.640 Yeah, that should have mean. 148 00:06:15.640 --> 00:06:17.120 It was like disciples were only men. 149 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.120 Yeah. 150 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:19.840 And there wasn't that like women did that. 151 00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:25.120 And so I guess in that cultural context, it was an odd thing to do. 152 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.600 Yeah, definitely countercultural for Mary to do that. 153 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:28.600 Yeah. 154 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.440 I think we'll jump in more in a bit with Martha's response and stuff like that, really. 155 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:35.480 So Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. 156 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.880 She came to him and asked Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work 157 00:06:39.880 --> 00:06:40.880 by myself. 158 00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:41.880 Tell her to help me. 159 00:06:42.200 --> 00:06:50.120 You know, this is like a genuine reaction out of, I think, one feeling overwhelmed and 160 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.560 just frustration as well, like how relatable is that? 161 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.800 Like if you've got a bunch of people that just rocked up at your house and now you want 162 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:03.120 to host them well, that's also a cultural thing, like within that context, what is it 163 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.120 hospitality? 164 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:05.120 Yeah. 165 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.520 Yeah, it's like a highly honorable thing, highly honorable to welcome people into your 166 00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:08.520 home very well. 167 00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:09.520 Right. 168 00:07:09.760 --> 00:07:10.880 They wanted to do that well. 169 00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:14.760 Martha wanted to do that well and I'm sure she needed all the help as she could get. 170 00:07:14.760 --> 00:07:20.160 But then her sister wasn't helping, she just sat on the floor and so no one did like 171 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:26.120 Martha reacted the way she did and was like, you know, and also it does show like the relationship 172 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.080 between Martha and Jesus. 173 00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:32.520 They clearly have a close enough friendship where Martha is able to address Jesus and say, 174 00:07:32.520 --> 00:07:35.760 Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? 175 00:07:35.760 --> 00:07:36.760 Yeah. 176 00:07:36.760 --> 00:07:37.760 Tell her to help me. 177 00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:39.080 Yeah. 178 00:07:39.080 --> 00:07:41.120 You only do that with close friends. 179 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.240 She doesn't sugarcoat anything though, she doesn't. 180 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:48.560 And I think that's really, I don't know, not prescriptive, but like how we can come to 181 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.080 God with our frustrations, like we don't have to sugarcoat things and be like, oh, like 182 00:07:54.080 --> 00:07:58.600 Jesus, when this happened, it potentially upset me like, no, you'd be like, oh, Jesus, 183 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.600 like this happened or this is happening and I'm really frustrated right now. 184 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:03.600 And don't you care? 185 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:08.880 And I think that's really beautiful that there's like the strength in their relationship 186 00:08:08.880 --> 00:08:13.600 for her to be able to do that again, being a woman as well. 187 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.520 I don't know if that would have impacted how she would speak to Jesus. 188 00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:18.360 I'm sure it would. 189 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.280 I think it's, if we understood fully the culture of that time, and the relationship 190 00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:26.480 of men and women, I think so much the Bible would read through like a different lens 191 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:27.480 to you. 192 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:32.560 And I do think it's interesting that I think when for ourselves, when we've heard this 193 00:08:32.560 --> 00:08:37.240 story growing up, it's kind of like painted Martha as the bad sister and Mary as the 194 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.240 good sister. 195 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.800 But I think actually that's, I don't think that's really fair on Martha. 196 00:08:41.800 --> 00:08:44.240 I think this is a really real response. 197 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.920 I think like she also was doing the work that had to be done. 198 00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:52.560 Like I don't think she's like even, I don't know the details of how her heart really 199 00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:53.560 looked like. 200 00:08:53.560 --> 00:08:56.880 But like I think it's often painted as Mary knew what was best to sit at the feet of 201 00:08:56.880 --> 00:08:57.880 Jesus. 202 00:08:57.880 --> 00:09:00.240 And Martha was just faffing around at the kitchen, where I was like, that's actually not 203 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.240 what's happening here. 204 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.560 Like, it has an obligation to serve and host. 205 00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:09.040 And like if they did a bad job of that, that would have been seen as culturally like dishonoring 206 00:09:09.040 --> 00:09:11.120 and then that could have looked bad on their whole family. 207 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.000 And so actually, Martha's mind could have been busy with so many things that could have 208 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.440 been like a genuine concern of what, like how she would be the family be exception in society 209 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.080 of these 12 or 70 people were hosted badly. 210 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:24.080 Yeah. 211 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.440 It's like sitting in the tension of like, which is correct. 212 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:31.360 And I don't think there is like, yeah, Mary is doing the desirable thing of sitting 213 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:32.360 at the feet of Jesus. 214 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:36.880 And like we speak about it often in churches and stuff like, oh, just to be at the feet 215 00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:37.880 of Jesus. 216 00:09:37.880 --> 00:09:42.160 But there's also this practical side of our lives where we do actually also need to pay 217 00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:43.160 bills. 218 00:09:43.160 --> 00:09:48.760 We do need to be able to like, you know, have work where we're able to afford things. 219 00:09:48.760 --> 00:09:56.440 And so like, it's that tension of the two, no, it's like one or the other isn't better. 220 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:03.000 I mean, and later on, Jesus's response even goes to show that, you know, Mary has chosen 221 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:08.560 one is better, but you just say that it's like the right one or the wrong one, you know. 222 00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:09.560 Yeah. 223 00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:13.760 Again, like, yes, there's a time to serve and there's a time to use his feet. 224 00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:17.800 And I think that's even like in our context of thinking, even in a church context, like 225 00:10:17.800 --> 00:10:19.320 there's, we're asked to serve. 226 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:20.320 We've all entered here. 227 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.800 Yeah, we have to work hard and we want to like work as if everything is for Jesus. 228 00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:28.280 But then we also need that time to sit, it is feet. 229 00:10:28.280 --> 00:10:29.280 Yeah. 230 00:10:29.280 --> 00:10:34.560 It's like life, ebbs and flows and seasons and in moments where you feel like you might 231 00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:39.120 have more capacity to be able to serve, but then also another you might feel really stretched 232 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:45.000 and all you need is just an evening in to rest and discerning that. 233 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.680 And like, I guess giving yourself grace within those moments, because yeah, I suppose that's 234 00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:54.360 also like looking at like even the pattern of like the Sabbath, where it's like we're, 235 00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:00.240 we're called to work for six of the days and then seventh day is the Sabbath and it's 236 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:04.280 like, well, that's even that should be a time to come and sit at the feet of Jesus and 237 00:11:04.280 --> 00:11:05.280 spend time with him. 238 00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:09.560 And so actually it's not even like in busy seasons and light seasons, it's like even 239 00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:14.880 just in our week cycle is actually it's God reminding us to come and sit in my feet 240 00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:15.880 and learn. 241 00:11:15.880 --> 00:11:16.880 Yeah. 242 00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:17.880 Yeah. 243 00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:21.920 And I think that was also really interesting in going back to like what we said before 244 00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:28.840 about her being a woman, like culturally, that was a big deal that there was a woman 245 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:29.840 sat at his feet. 246 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.600 And again, like Martha could have been looking at Mary being like, what are you doing? 247 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.840 Like come help me, like you can't be sat there. 248 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:36.840 Yeah. 249 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:37.840 Yeah. 250 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:42.760 And actually it is Jesus' responses like Martha, Martha, like no, like you are welcome. 251 00:11:42.760 --> 00:11:47.760 Like this is the good thing, like I love women and they are just as much my disciples 252 00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:48.760 as men. 253 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.440 And I think, like I was thinking about like why is this story included in the Bible? 254 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.200 And I do think that's a real key part of it where it's Jesus' response to culture and 255 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:02.480 response to like social norms is like no, come and look to me. 256 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.720 Don't be distracted by what Mary's doing. 257 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:08.240 Don't be distracted by what you have to do, but just come and look at me and I'll show 258 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:09.240 you. 259 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.600 And I do think one of the key things he is showing is that actually no like Mary is so 260 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:14.600 welcome. 261 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.200 And actually I encourage women to sit at my feet. 262 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.920 Which is so counter-cultural at the time. 263 00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:20.920 Yeah, crazy. 264 00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:27.040 And I think it speaks into so much of, I mean there's a whole Bible-long narrative of how 265 00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:33.400 Jesus and God, one of the same thing, constantly lift up women throughout the Bible. 266 00:12:33.400 --> 00:12:37.080 And I think you can even see it of like even in the Old Testament compared to New Testament 267 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.560 of the steps forward of like how he continues to radically raise up women. 268 00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:46.520 And I think this is a really key part of that and a real key moment of where it happens. 269 00:12:46.520 --> 00:12:50.840 And again, it's in front of all his disciples, it's in front of either 12 or 70 people 270 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:55.920 that are being sent out, how to build a culture that is Christ-like. 271 00:12:55.920 --> 00:13:00.080 And this is a moment that everyone heard, heard enough that it's written in the Bible. 272 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.640 So I think that's really powerful and for me is probably the key thing that is stuck 273 00:13:05.640 --> 00:13:06.840 out to me from this. 274 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:07.840 Yeah. 275 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:13.280 I think that's beautiful and awesome and it's like, yeah great thoughts. 276 00:13:13.280 --> 00:13:19.480 And I think as well, just coming back to the points around like discerning one to sit 277 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:25.200 out, use his feet and then when to like do the work and when to serve, I was thinking 278 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:31.360 like partly when we sit at Jesus feet, when we have the Sabbath, when we rest and spend 279 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.200 intentional time with him, have quite a time, go to see a secret place. 280 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.960 It's from that place that we then filled up yet to then pour out throughout the week. 281 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.640 And I think what's interesting here in this context is the Holy Spirit hasn't been poured 282 00:13:45.640 --> 00:13:46.640 out yet. 283 00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:47.640 Right. 284 00:13:47.640 --> 00:13:53.160 So like they actually have to go to Jesus's feet to be filled up by his teachings. 285 00:13:53.160 --> 00:13:57.000 But today we have the Holy Spirit with us always. 286 00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:02.840 And so actually we can be filled up by the Holy Spirit every day, every moment. 287 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:09.280 And I think there's definitely such a significance and an importance in your quiet time and 288 00:14:09.280 --> 00:14:10.280 the secret place. 289 00:14:10.280 --> 00:14:13.120 I think that Jesus emphasized that in his and time ministry. 290 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.240 He always would just go away by himself and go pray for like hours, everybody like, where's 291 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:18.240 Jesus? 292 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.360 And then he come back and he's like, oh, I'm just praying in the mountains. 293 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:22.360 So valid. 294 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.960 And so I think that that is so important, but I also think it's really important to remember 295 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:32.160 that we do have the Holy Spirit with us, like every moment of every day of our lives 296 00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:37.960 and we can pray and ask him to fill us up and to be with us and to strengthen us where 297 00:14:38.040 --> 00:14:43.560 we feel we can where we feel frustrated or where we feel that there's too much work to 298 00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:44.560 be done. 299 00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:46.680 And it doesn't feel like there can be a moment of rest. 300 00:14:46.680 --> 00:14:51.040 God will you help me to rest or you help show me where I can rest or you fill me up 301 00:14:51.040 --> 00:14:54.840 because, you know, in our weakness, God's power has made perfect. 302 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:59.280 And I think that, yeah, I don't know, it's just an invitation for us to come and sit at 303 00:14:59.280 --> 00:15:03.120 Jesus's feet, not only in those quiet times, but actually throughout our day. 304 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:08.480 What does it look like to invite Jesus into our daily lives where we are busy? 305 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:13.880 What does it look like to pray on the way to work or on the way to school or in between 306 00:15:13.880 --> 00:15:14.880 classes? 307 00:15:14.880 --> 00:15:18.480 That reminds me a bit of a conversation I had this week that was talking about like when 308 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.760 we retreat and what that looks like, I'd like to spend time with Jesus. 309 00:15:22.760 --> 00:15:26.640 And it was like, make sure it's you're going to the mountain top and you're not just 310 00:15:26.640 --> 00:15:29.800 like retreat from everything and trying to hide away. 311 00:15:29.800 --> 00:15:33.240 And it was like when you're feeling frustrated by people or overwhelmed with work or like 312 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.200 your mind is just busy, it's like ensuring you're going to the mountain top of Jesus, not 313 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:44.160 just like retreating into yourself, which I don't know if that's like necessarily into 314 00:15:44.160 --> 00:15:45.560 this, but it reminded me of that. 315 00:15:45.560 --> 00:15:46.960 So I thought I would share it. 316 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.960 Yeah, thanks for sharing that. 317 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:54.480 I also thought it would be nice to see his response to Martha. 318 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:55.480 Yeah. 319 00:15:55.560 --> 00:15:58.360 Michelle, you were quite struck by some of that wasn't you? 320 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:06.560 Yeah, I think one point I wanted to say before that was I definitely thought like praying 321 00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:13.840 or going to the secret place and not serving felt like I guess really passive. 322 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:20.600 But actually it's a very active thing, intentionally deciding to sit with Jesus, sit on his 323 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:28.920 feet, read scripture, pray, sit in presence of God is an incredibly active thing. 324 00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:35.000 And there's definitely going to be moments in life where there's going to be more of that. 325 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:41.080 And I guess less action and it can feel really discouraging. 326 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:47.280 I guess it's just like a wonderful, healthy reminder that this is deeply active and you 327 00:16:47.280 --> 00:16:53.640 don't know what's actually happening and shifting in the spirit around and in the heavens. 328 00:16:53.640 --> 00:16:54.640 So. 329 00:16:54.640 --> 00:17:00.600 And I think Mary's action is really active as well, it's not passive, like she actively 330 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.400 went against social norms to sit at his feet. 331 00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:08.120 Yeah, I don't think we should hold that lightly, we can read it is, oh, she's just sat there. 332 00:17:08.120 --> 00:17:11.880 Because I know you're like you're so right Michelle, like this isn't passive, she was being 333 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:12.880 so active in that. 334 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:19.800 That's so bold in that culture as well, to chase after what she knows is the truth, which 335 00:17:19.800 --> 00:17:22.240 is that Jesus has Lord and that Jesus is the Messiah. 336 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:23.800 It's kind of bad ass, not going to matter. 337 00:17:23.800 --> 00:17:30.480 It is really, like she's got some kind of, common Mary, but that's my girl, that's my girl. 338 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.480 That's my girl. 339 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:32.480 Sorry. 340 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:33.480 Go on, go on, go on. 341 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.040 Yeah, anyway, Jesus is response to Mary, Martha, Martha, it is to Martha. 342 00:17:38.040 --> 00:17:39.040 To Martha. 343 00:17:40.040 --> 00:17:41.040 Yeah, Martha. 344 00:17:41.040 --> 00:17:47.040 Martha, Martha, the Lord answered, you're worried and upset about many things, but few things 345 00:17:47.040 --> 00:17:49.160 are needed or indeed only one. 346 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:53.320 Mary is chosen what is better and it will not be taken away from her. 347 00:17:53.320 --> 00:17:58.880 The significance in this, I guess I was just reading in commentary and it's actually 348 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:04.120 Lucy Peppie out that made this comment on it, but how, you know, it's actually a significant 349 00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:08.840 thing when somebody says the name twice and that's only ever happened, like where 350 00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:13.040 God is addressed or used some of these names twice, seven times in the Bible and Martha 351 00:18:13.040 --> 00:18:16.360 is the only woman within that. 352 00:18:16.360 --> 00:18:18.280 It's like significant moments of calling. 353 00:18:18.280 --> 00:18:24.120 So that was to Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Samuel, Martha, Simon and so, and Martha is the only 354 00:18:24.120 --> 00:18:25.120 woman. 355 00:18:25.120 --> 00:18:31.000 And like, something that Lucy was saying on this point was that I think she had a really 356 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:34.480 like special place in Jesus' heart. 357 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:41.240 I think like she was really loved by Jesus and he knew her potential and, you know, instead 358 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:48.040 of meeting her with, like, I guess sarcasm or just like dismissal, yeah, she met her 359 00:18:48.040 --> 00:18:55.160 in that moment with grace and compassion and saw that she had place to anxieties in 360 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:59.880 something that she really didn't need to and he's like, hey, like, you know, meeting 361 00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:05.480 her with compassion and actually choosing to minister to her in that moment is just so 362 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.120 beautiful to me. 363 00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:11.480 And, you know, this whole conversation, I guess, what, like, this whole scripture and this 364 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.960 part that we're reading isn't about two sisters having an argument, but it's about Jesus 365 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:22.680 actually empowering, like what you're saying is a woman calling them to follow him, pointing 366 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:28.040 like out, pointing out that like agitation and anxiety will only ever get in the way of 367 00:19:28.120 --> 00:19:35.040 being at the feet of Jesus or seeing the Lord because we can get, so things can get really 368 00:19:35.040 --> 00:19:41.280 hazy and we can get super distracted, but the main thing is Jesus and like, I guess like 369 00:19:41.280 --> 00:19:47.160 Jesus used that moment in Martha's life to point that out to her and I'm sure, I like 370 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:52.680 I wonder what it was that Jesus was talking about that he wanted Martha to hit her. 371 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:59.040 Yeah, I guess like also a question that we could all reflect on could be something along 372 00:19:59.040 --> 00:20:05.120 the lines of like, what are the hindrances in our own lives that might be in the way 373 00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:07.160 of Jesus? 374 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:12.760 Like, yes, there could be bad things in this instance, it isn't like, it's a good thing 375 00:20:12.760 --> 00:20:17.880 that Mary sat at the feet of Jesus, it's a good thing that Martha's said a little 376 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:24.960 now, yeah, hosting, hosting, hospitality, it's like both really important things and 377 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.560 I guess it's just like asking ourselves, what is it? 378 00:20:28.560 --> 00:20:35.320 I guess also asking Holy Spirit, what is it in our lives that we've prioritized over 379 00:20:35.320 --> 00:20:36.320 Jesus? 380 00:20:36.320 --> 00:20:40.040 I think that's really challenging because it can be so easy to be like, oh it's distractions, 381 00:20:40.040 --> 00:20:46.560 it's my phone, it's when I'm, I don't know, I don't know, it's obvious to pick out 382 00:20:46.560 --> 00:20:52.000 sometimes the bad things that take us away from Jesus, sometimes it can be quite humbling 383 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:57.600 or quite like, to be honest, I'm quite selfish and I want to spend time with my friends, 384 00:20:57.600 --> 00:21:02.720 I want to like invest in different people and put loads of time into serving at church 385 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:07.280 or I would wake up early to see my friends, it would I wake up early to see Jesus? 386 00:21:07.280 --> 00:21:11.840 I don't know if I always do that to the level I would want to and I think that's the 387 00:21:11.840 --> 00:21:15.840 interesting question which is like seeing my friends isn't a bad thing, serving at church 388 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:22.080 is a great thing, like hosting people to this standard is a great thing, yeah, Jesus's 389 00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:24.640 challenge is still like, we'll come and sit in my feet. 390 00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:25.640 Yeah. 391 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.520 So it's like, what are those actually good things that sometimes we need to sacrifice to 392 00:21:29.520 --> 00:21:33.440 be like, Jesus, I'm going to spend time with you even though it seems against what I 393 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.120 want or seems against what is actually good. 394 00:21:36.120 --> 00:21:39.880 What you're saying right now reminds me of scripture later on, I'm pretty sure it's 395 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:44.800 in revelations where it's like, you're saying Lord, Lord, I've done all this in your name 396 00:21:44.800 --> 00:21:49.800 yeah, and then Jesus literally says, well, I don't even know you, yeah, like you don't 397 00:21:49.800 --> 00:21:55.120 want that in your life where you've served in the name of Jesus, you heal people in the 398 00:21:55.120 --> 00:22:01.680 name of Jesus and you don't know him, yeah, and he doesn't know you, yeah, and Jesus's 399 00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:06.160 deep name, Martha, so that's even interesting that even in this context, like their deep 400 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:13.200 friends, like she obviously has a gift of hospitality as well and like having that many people 401 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:15.920 in your house and actually being able to do that. 402 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:21.840 And I think in John someone, it's talking about this family again and it's like, 12 lovely, 403 00:22:21.840 --> 00:22:26.040 it's talking about the family again and how Lazarus is reclining at the table, which is also 404 00:22:26.040 --> 00:22:30.720 beautiful in itself, he's raised from the dead a week before and his actual like praising 405 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:36.480 God and worship is just reclining at a table with him, yeah, I think that's it, but it's 406 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.720 also, it says Martha serves and it's like she, her response from this isn't don't ever 407 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:47.360 serve, like we're still called to serve, we're still asked to like, you know, serve, 408 00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:52.240 volunteer, do stuff, do stuff for Jesus, host people, and so like, no, she hasn't changed 409 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:57.280 who she is and who she built to be, but the challenge here is like, come and sit at my 410 00:22:57.280 --> 00:22:58.280 feet. 411 00:22:58.280 --> 00:22:59.280 And is that what is that? 412 00:22:59.280 --> 00:23:07.320 It's a hard posture, yeah, reprioritization, yeah, reprioritization, yeah, that's a long 413 00:23:07.320 --> 00:23:15.200 word that reprioritization, I also think, we spoke, I've mentioned that it was like, I 414 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.680 see, I see why I think this was written in the Bible. 415 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.320 I think it's also really important to look at where it is in the Bible and what it comes 416 00:23:23.320 --> 00:23:28.120 right after, because I think that's also really interesting, I think if I idea of like seven 417 00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:30.840 people is actually a really good thing and he's definitely not saying that, because I think 418 00:23:30.840 --> 00:23:36.280 that's often how I've heard this like preached is like, why are you busy in the kitchen, 419 00:23:36.280 --> 00:23:39.480 why are you busy looking after people, you're not just at my feet, and I think it's so 420 00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:45.680 clearly that feels really a random interpretation when it's off the back of the paddle of the 421 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:53.080 good smatter, which is all about like loving your neighbour and going out of your way to 422 00:23:53.080 --> 00:23:58.400 look after them and say, and literally it goes go and be like, go and do likewise, it's 423 00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:02.720 like what Jesus' last words of like the good smatter, which is all about caring and serving 424 00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:07.920 and all that stuff, and it's off the back of that context where he goes go and serve 425 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:14.080 and love, then he goes, but also sit at my feet, and I think that's a really interesting 426 00:24:14.080 --> 00:24:16.800 placement of text. 427 00:24:16.800 --> 00:24:22.080 Yeah, and I think as well, sorry, I'm actually going back to the last verse, let's do the last two 428 00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:31.360 verses, 41 and 42, where Jesus is like gently rebuking Martha, I think Jesus is actually 429 00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:40.240 modelling the way that we, with our close friends, go on, are called to gently correct them, 430 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:46.000 when we see them doing something that actually isn't in their best interest for their heart, 431 00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:51.600 or if you notice that there, yeah, just doing something from like the wrong heart posture, 432 00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:57.440 from the wrong place, actually as brothers and sisters in Christ, we have a responsibility 433 00:24:57.520 --> 00:25:04.800 to keep each other accountable, and to question each other and be like, hey, I noticed you're 434 00:25:04.800 --> 00:25:09.680 doing this, so I know you've been doing this a lot, I've noticed that, I just wanted to check 435 00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:15.760 you and see like, why is that, because, you know, are you, I don't know, it's like, I know what, 436 00:25:15.760 --> 00:25:19.520 I know what you mean, it's like calling each other, it's calling each other higher to hear you 437 00:25:19.520 --> 00:25:23.680 standard, and like it's almost like Jesus is modelling that for us, yeah, I was actually going to 438 00:25:23.760 --> 00:25:28.080 say, is there a way you're really good at that, you're really good at that in the kind, like, kind way, 439 00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:35.280 and it's not like, it doesn't, it's not cutting, but it like gently just kind of, 440 00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:40.160 convicts, I guess, yeah, I've experienced that with our friendship for sure, I don't 441 00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:47.520 say things like, when it's like genuine deep friendship and like love, you can be so much more 442 00:25:47.520 --> 00:25:55.920 direct, and because it's so much, you know it's from a place of love that is like, it actually, 443 00:25:55.920 --> 00:26:00.160 sometimes really can, like it's the proverb of like, faithful to the wounds of a friend, 444 00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:06.000 whereas like, their wounds, they're gonna hurt, it's gonna hurt, one of my friends, she's 445 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:11.920 called Abby, she's so gentle, she's so lovely, and in the last few months, it's been something 446 00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:16.720 she said to me, I've literally been like, oh, I'm like, oh, that's, that's a bit too real actually, 447 00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:20.160 and like, at the time, I'm like, oh, no, no, no, and the next day, I was like, you've 448 00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:24.400 really completely challenged me, and like, you've really like reshaped my thinking on things, 449 00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:29.120 and for some reason, she keeps doing it, and I'm like, brother, but it's because I know she loves 450 00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:34.720 me so deeply that she's, she can so directly be like, easy, your whole thinking's actually not 451 00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:39.360 right about the situation, and I'm like that, and I think that's really powerful, whereas like, 452 00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:43.920 when it's actually deep relationship, and again, when she has spent time with Jesus, and 453 00:26:44.080 --> 00:26:47.440 she probably, she has spent time listening to his teaching, just didn't really realize she was 454 00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:54.240 doing it formally, like when she knows that, like, the truth of the love relationship they have, 455 00:26:54.240 --> 00:27:01.600 that it encourages real, real honesty, and real, like, discipleship, to be honest. 456 00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:06.080 Yeah, I think that was great, and I think as well, it's like, sometimes our friends, 457 00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:10.080 like, our close friends, can like, see what we're doing in a different light. 458 00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:15.440 When Martha, in this moment, did not think she was in the wrong, because she wasn't in the wrong. 459 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.920 She was doing the right thing, but, well, in that culture, she was doing the right thing, 460 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:24.880 but actually, Jesus had a different perspective, and he could see that she was, you know, 461 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:27.520 that you are worried and upset about many things. 462 00:27:28.320 --> 00:27:33.040 Jesus is that she's cooling out her heart push, like, what's going on in her heart? 463 00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:38.160 Just from her saying to him, Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work 464 00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:40.080 by myself. Tell her to help me. Yeah. 465 00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:44.720 Like, he's like, hey, that's not actually what, like, I can see that there's something deeper 466 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:45.520 there. Yeah. 467 00:27:45.520 --> 00:27:51.600 And I think that's something that sometimes only people with, like, an external perspective 468 00:27:51.600 --> 00:27:56.160 from ourselves can cool out of us, because when you're in it, it can be really hard to, 469 00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.520 I don't know, get out of that mindset. I don't know if any of that matters. 470 00:27:59.520 --> 00:28:00.720 No, it does, I think. 471 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:04.560 And I also do want to say, like, notice how Jesus doesn't just rip into Martha. 472 00:28:04.560 --> 00:28:04.880 Yeah. 473 00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:11.440 Like, there's, there's isn't like permission to go and just rip into everyone and rebeach 474 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:17.760 everyone and like, cut it, like, have cutting words, but there's a way of delivering things 475 00:28:17.760 --> 00:28:21.760 and like, convicting in a kind way, and we have that responsibility of 476 00:28:21.760 --> 00:28:25.200 stewing other people's hearts within that team. Yeah. 477 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.200 By being kind. 478 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:32.320 It's like, it's giving feedback by not saying all the negatives, but food encouraging. 479 00:28:32.320 --> 00:28:34.880 I think that's what I've been just thinking about. 480 00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:36.400 What are you guys are speaking? 481 00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:39.840 Where it's not been like, Martha, you're doing this and this and this and this wrong. 482 00:28:39.840 --> 00:28:41.680 It's like, I can tell you worries. 483 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.520 And my heart is that and I encourage you in this. 484 00:28:45.520 --> 00:28:48.320 I encourage you and and I think that's really interesting. 485 00:28:48.320 --> 00:28:52.560 It's like, how actually you can, you can help refine people and 486 00:28:54.080 --> 00:28:57.840 yeah, but through encouragement and just like, don't do this. 487 00:28:57.840 --> 00:29:00.560 Yeah, being really negative and negative, Nelly. 488 00:29:00.560 --> 00:29:02.000 Sorry if your name's Nelly. 489 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:05.120 Sorry Nelly, but I have a quick question. 490 00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:05.920 Oh, God. 491 00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:08.800 So we're talking about how it's good to set the feet of Jesus. 492 00:29:08.800 --> 00:29:10.080 What does that actually mean? 493 00:29:10.080 --> 00:29:11.520 What does that look like for us? 494 00:29:11.520 --> 00:29:17.120 Well, for me, I think of sitting at the feet of Jesus as being in my word, 495 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:23.760 because in the beginning was the word and the word was with God. 496 00:29:23.760 --> 00:29:25.760 And the word was God, the God. 497 00:29:25.760 --> 00:29:26.640 Other way around. 498 00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:29.040 But Jesus is the word of God. 499 00:29:29.280 --> 00:29:32.000 Like Jesus is revealed to us as we read this. 500 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:37.440 And I think that's something that's like easy to forget is that this very book here, 501 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:42.320 these pages actually are not only are they alive and active and 502 00:29:42.320 --> 00:29:48.560 sharper than a double edged sword, but also it literally reveals to us Jesus's character 503 00:29:48.560 --> 00:29:51.840 and the Holy Spirit moves through reading these words. 504 00:29:51.840 --> 00:29:52.320 Yeah. 505 00:29:52.320 --> 00:29:53.920 So I think just like the importance of 506 00:29:55.040 --> 00:29:57.760 being in your word and being intentional about reading it. 507 00:29:57.760 --> 00:29:58.240 Yeah. 508 00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:01.120 Um, is it she is daily bread?
