MIRRORS - Mary of Bethany - Quiet Love, Eternal Legacy

At His Feet: The Stillness That Changes Everything 

In this episode, we step into the home at Bethany and meet a woman whose worship was quiet but unforgettable—Mary of Bethany. While others rushed to serve or explain, she simply sat at Jesus’ feet. Through her story, we explore how stillness can be strength, and how presence with God often does more than performance for Him.
✨ MIRRORS Breakdown
M – Moment:
Mary chooses to sit at Jesus’ feet while her sister serves, revealing that true discipleship begins with stillness, not striving.
I – Identity:
She’s not defined by her productivity, but by her posture of intimacy. Jesus loved her for her attention, not her activity.
R – Right Choices:
She listens when others work, weeps when others withdraw, and worships when others criticize—three postures that mark deep faith.
R – Risks/Wrongs:
Her devotion drew misunderstanding and judgment, yet Jesus defended her every time. Her worship was countercultural and costly.
O – Ongoing Message:
Wherever the gospel is told, her story echoes: The truest offering is time at His feet.
R – Reflection:
Are you striving like Martha, grieving like Mary at the tomb, or pouring out your all like Mary at the banquet?
S – Steps:
Protect stillness with God
Bring pain honestly to His presence
Worship with what costs you something
Lead quietly but faithfully
Key Verse:
“Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” — Luke 10:42
Takeaway:
Mary’s story teaches us that in a world obsessed with movement, the holiest act is to stop and listen.
