Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and obey it
누가복음 11:27-11:36
Who is Jesus like? Vv. 29, 30 Even though people experienced many miracles and heard many stories, they still ask for another miraculous sign from heaven. None will be given except the sign of Jonah, the death and the resurrection of Jesus. Hearts of those, who heard that Jesus was going to die on the cross and saw many miracles, did not change. Therefore, do not follow dramatic experiences but welcome the Lord, who came as the Word. Vv. 30-32 Jesus is greater than Jonah or Solomon. If we compare preaching of Jonah and wisdom of Solomon with the Word, works, and wisdom of Jesus, who brought the kingdom of God, they are just a shadow. After Jesus’ resurrection, he dwells among us, approaches us with his Word, and directs us with true wisdom. The way of abundant fellowship, power and wisdom had been opened for us. Do not think it is difficult, come and try this fellowship.
What lesson is God teaching me? Vv. 33-36 A man’s life depends on his spiritual eyes. When his spiritual eyes are filled with the light (truth), he is alive. But while in darkness, a man cannot understand the Word or recognize the Lord when he sees a miracle. Let’s pray that we would have eyes of bright spirit to understand the Word of God and to feel his hand even in the smallest aspects of life.
Lord, please bless this day and give me eyes of bright spirit so that I could obey your Word.
