For those who were in Life Group on Sunday morning, I wanted to connect the dots on something from the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42).
In discussion, Josh brought up the woman who washed Jesus' feet with expensive perfume, and dried them with her hair. As a matter of fact, that woman was the same Mary from Sunday's study! You can read about it in John 12:1-8.
Mary apparently understood the importance of timing, in terms of not missing opportunities to be with her Lord. She also was willing to be lavish in her devotion to Christ. Martha seems to have been a little more weighed down with worldly pressures and concerns, at least in the passage we studied from Luke.
I just wanted to point out another passage that mentions these sisters (they are also key figures in John 11:1-44), and to make the connection with Josh's comment. Just like Mary did, there are times for us to overflow with expressions of worship for our Savior, even if they go against others' expectations.
