6th Sunday after Pentecost
Sermon
Worship: Jesus serves us!
Mary had it right. While Martha frantically scurried around, preparing food for the body,
Mary was sitting at Jesus' feet, receiving food for her soul.
The world is a busy place, with unending to-do lists and a million distractions. But in the
middle of all this busyness, there is only one thing needful: to sit at Jesus feet and receive
what He gives us. “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life
as a ransom for many.” (Matt. 20:28) We are still being served by Jesus. He puts His
words to in our attentive, receiving ears. He puts his flesh and blood into our mouths.
We sit at His feet with open hands, eager for whatever He will put into them.
