Martha, Lazarus, and Mary were all disciples of Jesus, people who loved and followed Jesus, opened their home to Him, shared their table with Jesus in fellowship and enjoyed Jesus’ friendship as well as lived by Jesus’ teaching. Each had their own unique relationship with the Lord, yet together, as a family, they displayed all the aspects of a church.
Especially the sisters, Martha and Mary, teach you and me about blessing God as a whole body of believers.
Studying the Bible, learning the doctrines of the Christian faith, do not make a person wise, or strong in the faith. In fact, wisdom is not about knowing. Wisdom is about using what you know. In spiritual terms, the wise person is the one who lives out the truths they know, not necessarily the Bible scholar and theologian.
We might say Martha brought in the importance of right doing in her service to the Lord, and in right thinking as Jesus’ developed her faith in knowing the truth about His divinity.
Now enter Mary, who said few words, but whose passion and practice made a deep and lasting impact on Jesus’ heart and our understanding of discipleship.
We see her first sitting at the feet of Jesus, then kneeling at His feet, and finally anointing his feet.
I Sitting at Jesus’ Feet, Luke 10:38–42
II Kneeling at Jesus’ Feet, John 11:1–46
III Anointing Jesus’ Feet, Matthew 26:6–13, Mark 14:3–9, John 12:1-8
