2 Chronicles 1:1-2:18; Ezekiel 27:1-36; John 10:1-18
Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. Luke 10:39
Mary appears on only three occasions in the New Testament— always at Jesus’ feet! She sat down to learn the Word at Jesus’ feet, while Martha was cumbered with much serving (Luke 10:39-42). When Lazarus died, she wept at Jesus’ feet and Jesus wept with her (John 11:32-35)! And then He raised Lazarus to life (John 11:39-44). Finally, when Jesus visited Lazarus, she was at His feet to anoint them with her very costly ointment to welcome and worship Him. Let us ever be ready to learn His Word, weep for others and worship at His feet! —K. C. Ung
Mary, led by heav’nly grace,
Chose the meek disciple’s place.
At the feet of Jesus, is the place for me,
There a humble learner, would I choose to be. —Philip P. Bliss
