Blessed Are Those Who Hear and Obey
Today, many people do not like to be told that they must make a choice — you
must either choose this or that.
2. No, more and more people are determined to . . .
a. “leave their options open”
b. “to have it both ways”
3. However, in our text today, Jesus tells us that we can’t have it both ways.
4. We must choose one or the other.
5. Jesus’ teaching here in vv. 17-26 of chapter 11 in Luke’s gospel is the result of
His healing of a mute man.
6. The reason we are given for his inability to speak is a demon which had taken
up residence within him.
