The Distraction Syndrome

Luke 10 :38-42  NIV

³⁸ As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. ³⁹ She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. ⁴⁰ But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

⁴¹ “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, ⁴² but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Sermon:

In these five short verses of Luke 10 we find Jesus giving excellent counsel to Martha. Jesus after being on His feet for probably most of the day, preaching, teaching, exhorting now finds Himself as the guest of Martha and Mary. Tired and seeking some rest, He sat down or rather reclined on the cushions waiting for dinner to be served. Yet, the guests probably still asked Him questions and wanted to glean more from the Master Himself as we see in verse 39:.....
