Hearing The Word of God
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Lk. 11:27-28 KJV
That sounds like the spontaneous cry of a godly Grandmother to me. One so thrilled by what she heard her spirit welled up and cried out;
Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
It beats a routine Amen Brother! doesn’t it?
And she was right, Christ returned a resounding, “Yea“.
I’m sure He was tickled by her bold maternal heart, just as we are.
Do they shout encouragement to the preacher in your fellowship? Or would such behaviour be “out of place”?
God in the Flesh didn’t mind.
He endorsed it.
