A meditation on Mary and Martha

When Jesus visits Mary and Martha, he is not commenting on 'be-ers'  and 'do-ers' - not playing off a contemplative spirituality against an activist spirituality.  Martha's problem is not that she is active but that her meditation is on her rights and Mary's wrongs - her focus is on Mary, not on Jesus.
This sermon is an invitation to listen to Jesus through imaginatively engaging with the story from Martha's point of view.
It was preached on Sunday 21st July at Sunday Night at St John's, Southgate, Vic.
Enjoy!
