Mary and Martha

The story from John 11:17-45 "Lazarus was raised"
striking difference between Mary and Martha is The same words from their mouth"God, in case you are here, my brother would not die."
The different acts of God, Above the words of Martha, the Lord still questioning about Martha's faith (John 11:26b "Believest thou this?" KJV)
But, above the words of Mary, Jesus groaned in the spirit, and was troubled (John 11:33 KJV)
Jesus immediately asked her "where have ye laid him? John 11:34 KJV", maria got a response directly from Jesus, who knew her heart.

I think this relates to when Jesus was visiting their home. (Luke 10:38-42)
In Luke 10:40 "But Martha was cumbered about much serving" (describing worldly things)
In contrast to marta, Luke 10:39 "And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word."
In Luke 10:42 Jesus praise the right thing that Mary do, "But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

dear friends, don't forget to spend your time everyday to sit down at Jesus's feet!
This reminded me of the song of Argo Pariadji "I Wanna Be With You"

Only one thing
Needful for me
That will not be taken away
To sit at Your feet

Draw and receive
Words of grace and righteousness

I wanna be with You
Your love changed my life
I wanna live for You
'cause You gave Your all the cross

I'm gonna follow You
Lord show me Your ways
I'm gonna hold on You
'cause Your grace is all that I need
