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.

After the greatness of Jesus is revealed with a transformation, and a man is healed, the Disciples find themselves in a place wondering who will be the greatest among them. Jesus does not approve of this but instead instructs them to see themselves as the lowest status, and to seek to serve. Not learning the lesson, the Disciples seek to hinder another man who is not “with them” who is casting out demons in Jesus name. Jesus refuses. Instead He explains that those who are fighting against His enemies are on His side.

Jesus hints at the coming resurrection by explaining that some of His disciples won’t die before they see the Kingdom of God coming with power. Jesus is then transfigured on Mount Hermon, the very place (according to the book of Enoch) of the rebellion of the elohim that rejected God! Coming down from that the Disciples were unable to cast out a demon out of a boy. Jesus casts the demon out and then explains that some of that kind can only be cast out through prayer. Jesus ends the moment by explaining that He had to die and resurrect. Even though He is the Son of Man, and will have an eternal kingdom, He must die first.
