Ch10_08_Sermon_The Lord was pleased when people heard the word of God (Luke 10:38–42)

This word, just as we have read it, is a word saying that the Lord was pleased when people heard the word of God. The word says, “Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house” (Luke 10:38). Martha is Mary’s older sister. Jesus had entered that house and was being served, whether with food or with tea, and the younger sister Mary was sitting at the Lord’s feet, listening to the word the Lord was speaking. At that time the older sister Martha was diligently preparing food in the kitchen to serve the guest. Since a guest had come, in human terms it was right to prepare food, and although it was also good for her sister to hear the word, it seemed right to her to prepare the food together and serve rather than to do it by herself, and so Martha probably said what she said. So she asked the Lord to command her sister to help her, since she was the one making the food. Then the Lord said, “One thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42). It means that, having been invited into that house and having entered it, He regarded hearing the word of God as better than preparing a lot of food and serving. It is just as we know well.
