THE ONE NECESSARY THING
Martha was working hard in the kitchen while her sister, Mary, sat at the feet of Jesus listening. Martha was hurt, feeling that Jesus didn’t care that her sister had left her serving alone. But Jesus approved of Mary’s choice to sit and listen to Him, enjoying His presence without working. He instructed Martha that resting in Him was the “right choice,” the “one thing” needed.
Today is Easter Sunday, the day we remember Christ’s resurrection. What are you “worried and troubled about” today? Believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who has defeated sin, death and the grave. Rest in Him, for He has already done the one thing necessary to save us. And the one necessary thing for us? Confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God has raised Him from the dead and you will be saved (Rom. 10:9).
PRAYER: Dear Father, we believe in the Resurrected One, Jesus Christ. We rest in His great work and listen to His voice. Speak to us this day. Lead, guide and direct our path. In Jesus’ name, amen.
