It’s Been Done

I’m reminded of how when Jesus was in the house of Martha and Mary. He noticed how Martha was worried and upset about many things because Martha asked Jesus to tell Mary to help her serve because Mary was just sitting at the feet of Jesus listening to what he had to say. Instead of Jesus, telling Martha, oh right away, I’ll tell Mary to help you. He told Martha that Mary was choosing the better thing to do. I think this is a good reminder that when we are serving and we’re thinking about our ministry or the ministry we work for or the organization that we have, we need to remember that the better part is to listen to Jesus. It’s not so much anbout all that we’re doing for God and the name that we can make for ourselves or the honor that we can get. God is going to do everything. He’s always working and serving us and we serve and work for Him. Think about the New Jerusalem. It’s already made and it’s probably not just empty. It’s probably has everything we will ever need. It’s been done. Maybe we don’t need to always think of the biggest churches we can make or the ministry that solves world hunger. What we can do is listen to Jesus. Now, the word listen means more than just hear what He has to say it means apply it and do it. Sometimes that does mean serving in some capacity but also spending time with Jesus is I think the other point that Mary was really focused on. Getting to know God and know Jesus is eternal life. Eternal Life is to know God and know Jesus Christ. Sometimes we forget that when living life and there’s so much to do and see and you know it’s awesome. Let’s remember to obey God fear God and keep his commandments. That’s what Solomon found and let’s know God as a father as a friend as a brother as our king and so much more. Thank you
