Mary and Martha of Bethany
Jesus at the Home of Mary and Martha, Minerva Teichert
What if the reason Jesus told Martha to stop bossing her sister around wasn't just for Mary's benefit?
What if he was also fed up with Martha cooking and cleaning up after a bunch of men who clearly didn't help at all?
Think about it.
What if Martha's real issue isn't just that she's trying to passive aggressively enlist her sister into helping her through someone else?
What if Mary choosing "the better part" is because she refuses to enable learned helplessness in grown men?
