About this listen

 The Bethany home is one of the most sacred spots in Palestine. There it was that Jesus found a shelter of love amid enmities and antagonisms. There his heart found rest after being wearied and hurt by the unbelief, criticism, and hypocrisy of the rulers. It is a joy to think of the comfort that he found in that sweet home, that there was one spot where he was sure of love, and where he knew that no hostile eye was upon him and no unfriendly ear was listening to catch him in his words. There were two sisters in that home. Both of them loved the Master, and both were dear to him. Each showed her love in her own way. It is to one of these, however, to Mary, that we are now to turn our thoughts. Mary is easily recognized among our Lord's friends, as she appears always in the same attitude. As we know Martha wherever we see her by her diligent, eager serving, so we know Mary by her posture at the feet of Jesus. Three times only is she seen in the Gospel story, and each time she is at her wonted place. First, we find her sitting at Christ's feet as a learner, eagerly listening to his words. When she next appears there is a great sorrow in the Bethany home. Her only brother is dead, and when Jesus comes Mary goes out to meet him and falls at his feet in her grief, this time seeking comfort. Once again we see her. Jesus is at the table, an honored guest. As usual, Martha is serving. Again Mary is at her Lord's feet, this time anointing him with her costly ointment. This characteristic picture of Mary is one that every Christian young woman ought to keep framed in her heart. It is full of suggestion. At Christ's feet is the place of discipleship, where one learns the lessons the Master has to teach, where one's soul receives the blessings he has to give. It is the place, too, of shelter and comfort, to which one should flee in danger and sorrow. Then it is the place of devotion, of consecration, of service. We will study in order each of these three scenes in which Mary appears. Bible Study Bibles & Bible Study Christian Living Christianity Meditations
