Choosing the Good Part

Luke 10:20 KJV
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Luke 10:42 KJV
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Luke 9:44 KJV
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

In the passage that came to my attention yesterday, Luke 9:44, there is a contrast between the excitement of Christ's casting out the devil from the boy and what Jesus said should sink down deeply into our ears, namely, the gospel of Christ. In Luke 10:20 Jesus told His disciples not to rejoice that the spirits were subject to them but instead that their names were written in heaven. And then in verse 42 Jesus says the good choice was to sit at the feet of Jesus and hear His word.

Life is based on choices. We make them every moment of every day. The good choices have to do with
• The Gospel
• Our salvation and then
• Learning God's Word
