As he interacted with them thousands of years ago, he teaches us today. His timeless teachings, as he sat in the home of Mary and Martha teach us about family interactions, expectations, humility and the importance of feasting upon the word of God. Many times we want our efforts to be noticed, appreciated. It seems to me that when Martha mentioned to Jesus that Mary was not helping her it could have been for that reason. The account of the two sisters does not delve into what took place before Jesus came. What is mentioned in the scriptures is as significant as what is not. We each get to ponder upon this event and draw our own conclusions; “One thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that better part which shall not be taken from her.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption id=\"AudioPlayerCaption\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThoughts from Angela Johnson\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003caudio controls=\"controls\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/8510\/4949\/files\/13_One-Thing-is-Needful.mp3?9978\"\u003e\n\u003c\/audio\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accord-option\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"toggle1\" class=\"accord-toggle\"\u003e \u003clabel class=\"accord-title\" for=\"toggle1\"\u003eClick to Read Scripture\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accord-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"scriptsubhead\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuke 10: 38-42\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e38\u003c\/strong\u003e Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e39\u003c\/strong\u003e And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40\u003c\/strong\u003e But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e41\u003c\/strong\u003e And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e42\u003c\/strong\u003e But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--\u003cdiv class=\"accordion2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accord-option2\"\u003e\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"toggle2\" class=\"accord-toggle2\" \/\u003e \u003clabel class=\"accord-title2\" for=\"toggle2\"\u003eClick to See Crystal Gem\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accord-content2\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"scriptsubhead2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"One Thing Is Needful\" Individual Gem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\" \/\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-upsell-accordion-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/8510\/4949\/files\/One_Thing_Is_Needful__350x350_-Accordion-IG.jpg?32545\" \/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-upsell-accord-button\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/angela-johnson.myshopify.com\/collections\/crystal-gems\/products\/one-thing-is-needful-1\"\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-button\"\u003eView Crystal Gem\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e--\u003e \u003c!--UPSELL HEADER--\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center; padding-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\"One Thing Is Needful\" Individual Gem\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c!--UPSELL IMAGE MAIN CONTAINER--\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"accordion-container1\"\u003e\n\u003c!--UPSELL 01--\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"accordion-container2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-upsell-accordion-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/8510\/4949\/files\/One_Thing_Is_Needful__350x350_-Accordion-IG.jpg?37526\" alt=\"img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-upsell-accord-button\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/angela-johnson.myshopify.com\/collections\/crystal-gems\/products\/one-thing-is-needful-1\"\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-button\"\u003eView Individual Gem\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AJ Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14003961462837,"sku":"","price":18000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/8510\/4949\/products\/01-On_Thing_Is_Needful.jpg?v=1554228892","url":"https:\/\/angelajohnson.art\/products\/one-thing-is-needful","provider":"AJ Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
