DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 21:19 to 22:20; Lamentations 2; 1 Timothy 5
They did not receive Him. Luke 9:53
Martha received Him into her house. Luke 10:38
Mary…sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard His word. Luke 10:39
The Samaritans did not receive Christ because He planned to go to detested Jerusalem. They missed the Lord altogether. Martha welcomed Him to her home but, preoccupied by the pressures of the moment, missed what He had to say. Mary sat at His feet transfixed by Him. No wonder that it was she who with abandon, anointed His feet with very costly perfume. How much do we appreciate the Lord Jesus Christ?—S. M.
Taken up with Thee Lord Jesus, I would be;
Finding joy and satisfaction All in Thee. —C. A. Wellesley
