Luke 11:27 – 29 True Happiness

While he was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed." He replied, "Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it."

This very short passage is entitled “True Happiness” in my bible. A woman heaps praise upon Jesus calling him blessed along with the one he came from. Jesus answers that true blessedness is found in the one who hears God’s word and keeps it. One without the other will not do. Simply hearing, listening, is not enough. It must bear fruit in action. Understanding, Acceptance and Action. Word and then deed. Simple and straightforward. Amen
