Luke 11:27, 28 - Choose the Right Path.

Luke 11:27, 28 (NLT) As he was speaking, a 
woman in the crowd called out, "God bless your 
mother--the womb from which you came, and the breasts 
that nursed you!" 28 He replied, "But even more 
blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it 
into practice." 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   There is not a single day that we do not 
face the same test that was set before Adam. 
There is not a day that we do not have a chance to 
choose between the path of the devils clever 
promises and Gods sure Word.  
   From the beginning of time until the 
present moment, mans ungodly quest for power, his 
determination to use his gift of free choice for his own 
selfish ends, has brought him to the brink of doom. 
 
   God, meanwhile, in His infinite 
understanding and mercy, has looked on, waiting with a 
patience and compassion that passes all 
understanding. He waits to offer individual salvation and 
peace to the ones who will come to His mercy. The 
same two paths that God set before Adam still lie 
before us. We are still free to choose. We are 
living in a period of grace while God withholds the 
eternal punishment we so justly deserve.  
   In your daily choices, are you choosing 
Him continually in obedience to His Word? As you 
stand at the crossroads today, choose obedience, 
and He will give you peace.  
   How have you chosen the right path of 
obedience to God? [Peace for Each Day by Billy 
Graham] 

COMMENTARY

   The nature of the Christian life is 
Christ's life taking hold upon all the inner life of 
a man, changing, dominating, pulsating. It is 
seen therefore, and I do not think we can be too 
careful in emphasizing this, that Christian life is 
neither human imitation of Christ, nor correct 
intellectual positions concerning Christ. Neither is it a 
cult, or a system of thought. I may attempt to 
imitate Christ sincerely through long years, and yet 
never be a Christian. I may hold absolutely 
correct intellectual views concerning Christ as a 
person, and His power, and yet never be a Christian. 
It is possible for me to admire Him, and 
attempt with all the power of my life to imitate 
Him, and yet never realize Him. It is quite 
possible for a person to believe most sincerely in 
His Deity, and in the fact of His atoning work, 
and moreover, in the necessity for regeneration, 
and yet never be submitted to His Lordship, 
never to have personal share in the work of His 
atonement, never to be born again. 
   Nothing short of the coming into life of 
the individual of Christ Himself constitutes a 
Christian. If Jesus Christ is external to your life 
there will be times when the world will not see 
Him and hear Him, and will not know you belong 
to Him. But if Christ be in you, living, 
reigning there absolutely, and you are obeying Him, 
there never will be a moment when the truth will 
not be evident. You cannot hide Christ if once 
He comes within. If the light is there, it 
simply must shine. G. Campbell Morgan [Time With 
God SB]
