a test i had to take
Shad Rolfe
Bible inturptation
Luke passage
38 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
41 And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”[1]
Jesus has just preached a sermon on the good servant and now Jesus entered the town and Martha welcomed Jesus into the home. He is meeting with the sister and talking to her and talking about life4 and I think salvation and life forever. Martha is a gal that wants to make the visit the best. She is busy and she wanted Jesus to fell good and things. Martha was not out of the loop and knows who is there and when she calls him Lord I think it tells us that maybe she knows who he is but does not have seen the truth of the things Jesus is saying.
Jesus response and said to Martha to not worry about things and look to him. Mary had found the good thing and that is the life Jesus has to offer. Mary has been soaking in the things Jesus is teaching and the Love of Jesus and Martha is being instructed to find the love Jesus has for her and to not look at the outer things but to the Lord and his love for her.
I read the passage and looked around the passage as I typed it. I also read a couple of notes and
Matt 13 3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”[2]
The sower is the Lord and the seeds are the seeds of Salvation. The devil is the one that is taking the seed. In the stony places People hear the message and it takes no roots. One comes to church and gets a bible and then he finds the word not working because he is not true to the salvation of the Lord. If your heard the truth and the cares of the world get in the way you are the seed in the throes. But the good seed are people who heard the word and the word bears fruit and produces. How did I make the conclusion I read to the text where Jesus explains the text. That is how I know I am right
