Episode 133: Luke 11 Part 3 Mary’s Womb and Boobs

In verses 14-28, Jesus casts a demon out of a man who couldn’t speak. After the demon was gone, the guy could talk. You would think people would be excited about this but nope, some of the people in the crowd accused Jesus of getting his power from Satan. They must have been murmuring amongst themselves because Luke says, “Jesus knew their thoughts” and he called them out on it telling them a kingdom divided against itself can’t stand. They challenged Jesus and demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority. He just did idiots! So Jesus has a conversation with these people and as he is talking some woman yells out of nowhere “God bless your mother—the womb from which you came, and the breasts that nursed you!” In vs28 Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” This is the point Jesus wanted them to get. This crowd, like many others, are hearing the word of God, from God himself, and instead of putting it into practice, they are challenging him and his authority. Don’t follow the crowd. Follow Jesus and do what he says and let your light shine.
