Hanging on Every Word He Says — Reflections on Luke 19

“All the people hung on his words.”

Luke 19:48

Can you imagine what it would have been like to sit and listen to the very words of Jesus coming from His mouth? Can you picture His eyes as they would meet your own eyes as you sat in the crowd?

It must have been amazing to be there during the days He ministered in Jerusalem. Crowds followed Him everywhere He went. Perhaps they desired to just to hear His voice, or it could have been to experience His healing touch. Whatever the reason was Luke wrote that the people “hung on His words.” They simply could not get enough.

Jesus is the same today as He was then.

He longs to be the desire of our hearts and for us to “hang on every word” He says. He still speaks and He still invites us to come.

We can still experience Him!

  1. Amen! I was just reading in regarding John the Baptist. After he called everyone to repentance. It’s neat how he called them out of whatever sin and showed them holiness towards Jesus! To prepare them for him! But regardless I was gonna share this: ”Now the people were in a state of expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts about John, as to whether he was the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).“
