A certain woman of the company lifted up her
voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the
paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they
that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Luke 11:27,28
"It is fondly imagined by some that it must have involved very 
special
privileges to have been the mother of our Lord, because they supposed
that she had the benefit of looking into his very heart in a way in
which we cannot hope to do.
--There may be an appearance of plausibility
in the supposition, but not much.
--We do not know that Mary knew more
than others; what she did know she did well to lay up in her heart; but
she does not appear from anything we read in the Evangelists to have
been a better-instructed believer than any other of Christ’s disciples.
All that she knew we also may discover.
Q: Do you wonder that we should say
so?
A: Here is a text to prove it: “The secret of the Lord is with them
that fear him, and he will show them his covenant.” (Ps.25:14).
--we have first of all as true a communion with the
Savior as the Virgin had,
--and in the second place as true an
acquaintance with the secrets of his heart as she can be supposed to
have obtained.
Happy soul to be thus privileged!" Charles Spurgeon
