Prepare: Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey.
Read: Luke 11:27-36
Contrary to the religious men who rejected Jesus and His authority, a simple woman in the crowd proclaimed the privileged status of His mother. Jesus taught the crowd that there was a greater privilege for those who listen to Him and obey.
Resurrection, the only sign: As Jonah went into the belly of the fish for three days and came back, Jesus would be in the grave for three days and come alive. This was the only sign God chose to give them. The Gentile queen from the South (modern Yemen) turned to God through what she heard from Solomon (29:8). Jesus pointed out that while the Gentiles were quick to turn to God, the Jews who had the privilege of having the Son of God in their midst rejected Him. He warned that those who continued in their unbelief would receive condemnation on the Day of Judgement. With all the light that the Word of God sheds, do we still seek proof through signs and miracles?
Jesus, the only light : Sin covers the light in the person's life and causes others to stumble too. The eyes represent understanding and insight. Sin causes a person to become blind to his faults and distorts his perspective. What are the areas in our life that cloud the light, keeping others from coming to God for forgiveness and eternal life?
Respond: I surrender my all to You, Lord Jesus. Pervade my life with Your light and make me a blessing to others.
