It is a sad fact that not everyone with whom we are acquainted ‘has ears’ as Jesus states. There are those, both saved and unsaved, who never have had or have lost the ability to hear spiritual truth.
When Jesus brought news of the kingdom of heaven he did not share it openly. He spoke in parables which indicated truths by analogous example. Some would say he did this to make the truths easier to understand – more relatable - but I disagree. He knew that some would understand what he was really getting at but the majority would not. For many, these would just be pleasant stories - to the chosen ones, they were the words of life.
It remains so today. Some choose not to hear the call of our Lord. Some choose to hear the words of the Lord as pleasant stories. Some are just so spiritually deafened by the din of life that they can hear nothing. Are you any of these?
Dearest Lord – I pray that I may have my ears opened this day and every day to the truth that you bring. Please appeal to others through me using just those words which you know they will hear. Amen.
