What does it mean to be a Christian?

“Two questions for today: The first is this: Does God want to be known? And the second: do we really want to know God in return?”

In the very next story, Jesus goes to the home of a woman named Martha. He knows Martha. He sees her. He offers her a new perspective. He invites her to open her arms to receive the gift of his presence. To the lawyer, he says, “go and do.” To Martha, he says, “sit and listen.” Jesus knows them both. He knows exactly what they need. Jesus knows us too. He knows exactly what we need.
