August 21, 2022 • Jon Thompson

Unlike the many other meals we listened to this summer, this last meal is the one where Jesus does not invite someone to get to know him, or invite them to see his true identity but to rebuild and restore someone that already knows him more than most.

Joel Penney looks at the incredible upside-down lessons of Christ's visit with Mary and Martha. Jesus's wisdom in pointing to the eternal matters and away from the worldly ones challenges our daily assumptions about what our responsibilities are. How can we avoid the worried, upset, and distracted life for one of calm, content focus on Jesus?
