Luke 11:28 meaning
Jesus taught many sermons, and people loved listening to him speak because his words were anything but ordinary. He taught about things beyond the physical world, things that stirred the soul and resonated with the spirit. His parables were wonderful to hear, as he used everyday experiences to help people understand God’s love and sacrifice.
In one teaching, Jesus explained why he could not be casting out demons through the power of the devil, since a house divided against itself cannot stand. After hearing this, a woman, clearly touched by his words, declared that his mother’s womb must be the luckiest and most blessed in the world. In response, Jesus said to her, “Instead, blessed are those who hear God’s word and obey it.”
This means that to truly be blessed, we can’t stop at just reading the Bible or listening to sermons; we must put what we learn into action. True blessing comes from living out God’s word in our daily lives.
