Being a student of Jesus is challenging. We grow in knowledge, and Jesus pushes on us. Jesus wants us to grow, and to keep growing, so that we don't get comfortable and stop moving. Jesus sees the distance between who we are and who we were created to be, and because Jesus loves us, he wants us to be as close to that image as possible. He knows we were made for incredible joy and peace.
So here a woman is crying out blessing, and Jesus is redirecting. He's pointing us towards action -- to follow Jesus is to be in motion. The Word of God guides our hearts, and it leads us to be a people in motion. We do what Jesus calls us to do -- we love and we serve one another, and we lead and we are led closer to Christ.
