Who Is The Servant?

Who Is The Servant?

Martha was distracted with much serving. . . .

But Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.

Luke 10:40–42 nkjv

Martha is worried about something good. She’s having Jesus over for dinner. She’s literally serving God. Her aim was to please Jesus. But she made a common, yet dangerous mistake. As she began to work for him, her work became more important than her Lord. What began as a way to serve Jesus, slowly and subtly became a way to serve self. . . . She has forgotten that the meal is to honor Jesus, not Martha. . . .

It’s easy to forget who is the servant and who is to be served.
