More Blessed than Mary. Luke 11:28

Jesus pointed out to the Pharisees that their ancestors loved Solomon, “but one greater than Solomon is here,” and the people of Nineveh listened to Jonah, “but one greater than Jonah is here.” Is that bragging? No. He is speaking the truth in love. They needed to hear the truth from Him directly.

Then a woman says, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the one who nursed you.” (That’s an interesting thought from a mom.)

How does Jesus answer?

“Even more blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it” Luke 11:28.

Could there be a woman more blessed than Mary? A mother more honored than Mary?

Yet Jesus says WE are more blessed than she if we:

(1) Hear the Word of God, and

(2) Obey it.

Are you hearing the Word? At home? In your car? At church or school? With friends? In your private reading?

And are you obeying His Word?

Both are important. Don’t miss your chance to be “even more blessed” than Mary.

Dad's Daily Devotional began as text messages to my family. I wanted my teenagers to know their father was reading the Bible. But they were at school by then. Initially, I sent them a favorite verse or an insight based on what I read each day. That grew into drafting a devotional readng which I would send them via text. I work as an attorney and an adjunct professor, and recently wrote a book called HOW TO MAKE A'S.
