Luke 10:38-42

Jesus came to a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. She had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the Lord’s feet and listened to him

Have you ever been at a table and you were fighting the battles within the whole time. That feeling of “I don’t belong here” or that thought “I should be doing something else.” Have you ever been at a table or place where other people made you feel unwelcome, uncomfortable but you stayed anyway because the issues were too important to absent yourself?

Today Jesus welcomes at his table on equal footing a woman named Mary. Forget the anger of the disciples and even her sister. The lord wants to hear Mary. As I said this past Sunday, none of us are pawns in the kingdom. We all have a word to speak.

So the the insecure come, to the unsure… come, to the uncomfortable … come. To you come, I want to hear your voice.
