“We are foolish to expect to serve God without opposition: the more zealous we are, the more sure we are to be assailed by the myrmidons of hell.” – C. H. Spurgeon
“For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” – Luke14:11

WHO IS BLESSED?
Luke 11:27,28
Intr.:
THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE says not only blessed, but happy and to be envied. Who does not want to be happy?
1. Blessed is the mother who gave you birth.
2. Blessed is the mother who nursed you.
That’s what a woman in the crowd called out!
But what did the Lord Jesus Christ reply? He replied:
3. Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God.
Those people who hear the word of God are happy and to be envied.
HEARING THE WORD OF GOD.
Please don’t only hear the word of God on Sunday in the church, but read it also at home.
Listen to the instructions.
4. Blessed rather are those who obey the word of God.
Those people who obey the word of God are happy and to be envied.
OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD.
Obey the instructions.
End:
If we want to be blessed, if we want to be happy and to be envied we must hear and obey the BIBLE!
