Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.

Luke 11:14-36
Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.
This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and now something greater than Jonah is here.
No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.
Only Luke typically records the woman's voice from the crowd. Jesus does not reject her words but makes a more important point.
Why?
Jesus drive devil out by the power of God, not the demon. It is unreasonable to a kingdom to stand up.
Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it. It hear the word of God but do not obey it, it is meaningless.
This is a wicked generation, it asks for a sign, asks for interesting, but forsake the truth and salvation.
Jesus is greater than Jonah, but people do not repent. Jesus is the savior to us, if does not repent and turn to God, there is downfall to themselves.
How about my heart to the word of God?
How?
Carefully listen to the word of God and obey his word in my daily life.
