Martha’s life story has been abridged by one Gospel writer and has been expounded on by many theologians and clergy for thousands of years, based on minor details which have placed her in an “outcast” status for the most part. Readers of the Bible have never been given the opportunity to hear Martha’s side of the story regarding the mild rebuke she received from Jesus.
What’s remarkable is that many eldest daughters find themselves playing a key role in supporting their families and taking a lead role in family affairs, only to find their efforts unappreciated and criticized, as well, placing them in a unique position to identify with Martha’s plight.
