Luke 11:27-28: A potential blessing.(please click here for todays passage)

Jesus did not deny that Mary was a blessed woman. Elizabeth had earlier, under the influence of the Holy Spirit’s fullness, pronounced Mary to be ‘Blessed…among women…’ (Luke 1:41,42). Presumably, then, what she spoke was accurate, and Jesus did not contradict Scripture. But He inferred that there is an even greater blessing for those ‘who hear the word of God and keep it!’ So here is a potential blessing for you and me today. Let’s put ourselves in a position to hear God’s Word and put it into practice.

By the way, isn’t that what Mary did? She heard and surrendered (Luke 1:38), and what blessing there was for her and for the whole world .

Prayer: Lord God, keep my ears ever open to your voice, and may my feet be always willing to walk in your paths.
