Luke 11:27-28 (NRSV) - While he was saying this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!" 28 But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!"
Listen to the woman, Jesus, standing there before you:
“Blessed are the breasts that nursed you and the womb that bore you!”
What is your reaction, Jesus, to her sychophancy?
Flattery is something that you happen not to fancy.
But as always you will use this opportune occasion
to teach her and others with your positive persuasion.
“Blessed, rather, are the ones who hear the word and do it.”
Blessed, too, are those who love God’s kingdom and pursue it.
