Uemory Selection: "She said unto him, Yes, Lord, I believe that you Are - ,tr.e unriev the Son of uod, he who la coming into the world." UoJm 11:27. lesson Text: Luke 10: 88-42; . John lis 1-5; 24-27.; Just a few miles outside the City! of Jerusalem' ww the town of IBeth-J any. 'There,' three intimate friends vi aiesus iivbu i.wo sisters, xnary ana Martha, and their -brother, Lazarus. .These friends held a Unique jplace in the , heart of Jesus. They believed in hi xnaa the Messiah, and followed - his teachings, but were not disciples in the samejway m the twelve, accom panying him from place to place. However, as Jesus went to and from Jerusalem, he often 'stopped t their home. On the occasion of which Luke writes, Jesus had stopped by and was Mayiry in the home. It seem that " 'artC.a had assumed the responsibility ! preparing and serving the meals . .d, on this particular occasion, she uecame very displeased with her sis ter, Mary, because Mary sat at Jesus' feet and listened to him as he talked, leaving all the preparation of the meal to her. In her impatience, Mar tha forgot her manners and rebuked her sister in the presence of their guest, even asking Jesus why he did not Md Mary help her. - , ' - Jesus' answer was a gentle rebuke, reminding Martha that she was "care- ful and troubled about" many things, but one. thing is needful , . , " "While some think that Jesus (referred to the fact that only one dish would have been sufficlnt for the meal, others , believer that he" was speaking of the . relative importance of material things, even so important as meals to nour ish the body, as compared with the vppvrvuiui,y wi naving xrue ieuowBiup wittt aim. , This warning is often needed, today ; in homes where the emphasis is on . keeping an .immaculate house, rather thft non -making a real Christian home for one's -loved ones and jruests. For tunate indeed is the family who live in a home ; where the -real spirit of . Christ aMdes. Later, Jesus was at Belhabara, about twenty 1 miles fijom : Bethany when he received word that hhi friend; - Laearus, was.yery JU.iJeeiis delayed ' his departure for two day!, to the amazement of his disciples. Before reaching 'Bethany, Martha, heard that Jesus was coming ami went out to meet him. ' 7 y -. - Her greeting was a complaint that h had not come earlier. "Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died." "But, although .puzzled by his failure to hurry to Lazarus' bed stde, Martha had great faith in IJesus, saying, 'I know," she insisted, "that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of Uod, God wilt give it thee' Mar W's confession iof faith in Jesus is I 1. . 1 - - J i.1. . J , when she declares, "H believe that thou art the Christ, the Son og Ckd, which should come into the world." . . , Martha calls Mary, who hurries to JeBusv She greets him with 4he same words that Martha had used. See ing her grief of those with her, Jesus himself wept Then, , going to the fcrnib, where Lazarus had laid for four days, Jesus ealled him from the dead. . This act became the excuse the enemies of Jesus needed to get rid of him. "Because many, of .the Jews wdent away and believed on Jesus," , these enemies realized that they must hasten his death, because df his grow ing popularity Just a week before his crucifixion, : Jesus came back to this home in Eethany. Mary, Martha and (Laza rus made a feast in his honor. Since - their home was not large enough to accommodate the guests, they gather ed in another home, belonging . to Mmeone who Js referred to as Simon the Leper, Again, Martha served but Mary was busy, too. She acted as hostess, wash- . ing the feet of their beloved guest anointing them with precious ointr ment and wiping .them with her hair. Ca gave the best she- had, with all f her love. J -. .
