Martha is overwhelmed with stress and worry. She’s determined to make everything perfect for Jesus’ visit, consumed by concerns about the food, the house, and the plates.

But when Jesus arrives, her sister Mary stops helping and sits down to listen to him, leaving Martha with even more to do.

Frustration boils over as Martha asks Jesus to tell Mary to help.

Will Jesus instruct Mary to assist her sister in the kitchen?
Can Martha handle everything on her own if he doesn’t?
What will Martha do next?
