If Jesus had been look for an excuse to make clear to the world that women's chief role is in maintaining the home and serving others, men in particular, this would have been the place. Instead, Jesus tells us all Mary was welcome at his feet, welcome to be his student, just like all the other men disciples. Jesus affirms the full equality of women with men and rejects "different and separate roles" for men & women through his interaction with Martha in this story.Kathy Stegallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15189338901356118801noreply@blogger.com
