After the fight over who is the greatest and some lessons in humility, Jesus warns against several traps. He warns against causing a child to stumble in sin and even leave the Kingdom. He says that the most horrible death would be a mercy compared to the judgement against those who harm the least child. Jesus then warns of the danger of sin and reminds us that a harm of the physical body is more desirable than eternal suffering! Jesus then ends by warning His followers that they cannot divorce their spouse for just any reason. He instead places His emphasis on the importance of marriage.

What if the most important thing on your to-do list isn't actually on your to-do list? Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet while Martha worried about preparations. Jesus said Mary chose the better portion. In our world of endless distractions and responsibilities, are we choosing what matters most? Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is stop being productive and simply be with Jesus.
