EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jesus in the home of Martha" captures a poignant moment from the Bible. The image depicts Jesus seated in the humble abode of Martha, while her sister Mary sits at his feet, engrossed in his teachings. Martha, on the other hand, appears concerned and troubled as she busily attends to household chores. The scene beautifully illustrates a passage from Luke 10:38-42 where Jesus gently admonishes Martha for being overly preoccupied with worldly matters. He tells her that although she is burdened by many things, only one thing is truly necessary - choosing to sit and learn from him like Mary has done. William Brassey Hole's exquisite illustration skillfully brings this biblical narrative to life. Through his artistry, we witness not only the physical presence of Jesus but also feel the contrasting emotions between two sisters who have chosen different paths in their encounter with Christ. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of our own priorities and choices when it comes to our spiritual journey. It prompts us to reflect on whether we are too consumed by earthly concerns or if we are taking time to listen and learn from divine wisdom. As an enduring piece within Christian iconography, this print invites viewers into a deeper contemplation of faith, devotion, and finding balance amidst life's distractions.
