Mariam and the service of the Rabbi


Mariam had been criticized by others who eyed her service of the Rabbi askance. 
She felt distressed, and the Rabbi calmed her. 
The Rabbi said, "If the greatest fault that can be found with you is your love and service of your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, then you are blessed indeed."

The Rabbi and Mammon



Mariam was wondering about money. She had a chance to make a good profit, but only if she was prepared to somewhat compromise her integrity.
The Rabbi told her, "You cannot serve both God and Money. Something has to give - and often it is Justice and the Commandments."

The Surprise






Mariam was surprised by a kindness shown her by someone she met.

Rabbi Jesus told her, "We never know the depths of decency and goodness that lies slumbering within another human being."
