The Smallest Hope

As Jesus and the disciple?s continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a village where a woman named Martha welcomed them into their home. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord?s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was worrying over the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, ?Lord, doesn?t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help.?
But, the Lord said to her, ?My dear Martha, you are so upset over all these details! There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it?and I won?t take it away from her.?
Upon hearing this Martha bowed her head in shame and confessed, ?Forgive me Lord, for my selfishness.? When she said this Jesus loved her in the Spirit of Truth and Compassion and said, ?You have not sinned neither was there malice in your words be not ashamed, only tell me how I may help you.?
When Martha heard this reply she was filled with the Spirit of Joy, and received the love Jesus had shared with her. She then mentioned what was needed to be done and Jesus began to help in the preparations.
Mary and the others wondered what had happened to Jesus so she went into the kitchen area to see if he where there. Seeing him working with her sister she turned to the others and said, ?Here he is, helping Martha.? Immediately they all began in the preparations and as they worked Jesus taught them about fellowship and service to one another, as the lesson ended the meal was complete they all then sat and ate supper.
