What does the Bible say about the importance of sitting at Jesus' feet?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that the act of sitting at Jesus' feet symbolizes a desire to learn from Him and prioritize spiritual growth over worldly concerns.

In Luke 10:42, Jesus commends Mary for choosing to sit at His feet and listen to His words, stating that this is the 'one thing that is needful.' This act signifies a prioritization of spiritual nourishment above the distractions of daily life, as exemplified by Martha's busy serving. The Bible illustrates that those who seek after Christ and His teachings establish their lives on eternal truths, contrasting with the temporal preoccupations that often clutter our time.
