The One Thing that is necessary

"The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.”  (Luke 10:  41 - 42)

What are the many things we are anxious and worried about?
Health, family, money, job, homes, cars, computers, cell phones, food, future, etc.  You can add to the list.

But Jesus says:  "Only One Thing" is necessary!  What is this One Thing?  Clearly it cannot be from the above list.  Or could it be fame?  Or fortune?  Or perhaps power?  If it is fame, the Hollywood stars would have had it all.  It is certainly not fortune because we know many millionaires who are miserable.  Herod had all the power he wanted and was yet threatened by the announcement of the birth of Jesus the Christ.

So what is this One Thing?  The One Thing is the Holy Spirit in us, our hope of glory.
