A people ready to catch the vision

Michael D. Rissler

We all know people who even in the middle of routine daily life look beyond and see things that often go unnoticed. This makes all the difference.

That's the important lesson in the story about Christ Jesus' visit to the home of Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha. Martha was fretting about many things. In fact, Martha was so caught up in the details of preparing for their guest that she chided Mary for not helping. But Mary couldn't take herself away from the Master. She must have held on to his every word. Jesus responded, "Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
