Answer the following questions.

1. Read Luke 10: 38-42. What "unpeaceful" situation is bothering Martha?

2. What attitude does Martha have in the beginning?

3. The attitude and peace of Martha turn sour when two things develop. What are they? (Luke 10:40)

4. Martha goes to Jesus complaining. Can you remember a time when you have done the same thing?

5. How does Jesus answer? (Luke 10: 41-42) Try and put His response into your own words.

6. The incident ends, but what evidence do we have from another stressful, busy, hard
time that Martha learned from what Jesus had said? (John 11: 1,14, 20-28)

7. Martha liked to do, not sit. It made her useful but also easily stressed. What does John 11:5
revealed about the heart that Jesus had toward her? How does this encourage you?
