Martha asked Jesus to confirm with her
that Mary's role as woman precluded
her from rabbinic priestly instruction
and discussion at the feet of the Rabbi;
and to oblige Mary formally to the
role of assistant servant and cook.
Jesus refused, gently rebuking
Martha for her short-sightedness.
The discussion continues today.
Many believe the second created
to be a gender defined by humble
service and child rearing to the
exclusion of the intellectual
and passionate following of
the Rabbi Christ.
Jesus clearly showed women
that to follow Him with dedication
and in study at His Feet
is not only wise, it is blessed.
