Luke 10:38-42
Our scripture text scene takes place where Jesus visits two sisters whom no doubt loved Him very much, but from the story Martha misplaced her priorities when it came to worshiping the Lord. Martha busies herself making things perfect while Jesus taught fellow believers and her sister Mary. Mary recognized the most important of service which is giving undivided devotion to Jesus and His Word, meaning when Jesus come to your house, He want your unconditional love, prayer, worship and fellowship with Him. He is not looking for beautiful clean edifices, but your clean heart and soul; a clean edifice is good, but a purified soul is better. How do we get a purified soul is by studying His Word, so that we may live godly lives, keep an open line of communication through prayer, establishing a fellowship with Jesus by daily walking with Him and resisting temptation with the aid of the Holy Spirit.
Let’s restate the question, when Jesus come to your house what will you be doing? Will you be ready to receive Him or will you have to clean a space for Him? Will Jesus find a receptive worship environment or will He have to stand at the door and knock? When Jesus come to your house will you say “come in my Savior I am ready to serve thee”.
