Ears That Hear
Wow, there is so much in this chapter...I chose to read this chapter a second time and when I did this is what grabbed me. "Listen", he says in verse three. Then in verse 9 he commands, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." He then commands in verse 23, " If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear." Finally in verse 24 he instructs them to, "Consider carefully what you hear."
In this chapter he is telling kingdom truths with the use of parables. What I find so interesting is the word that starts off the first parable (LISTEN) and then the words He spoke in between those parables.
If you do not stop to really listen, you have absolutely no chance in hearing. The second thing I noted was there are obviously those who already have those ears to hear kingdom truths and Jesus commands their ears to be open. He then commands and opens the ears of anyone else who wants those ears. It is interesting that His chosen twelve did not already have those ears, but it is clear they wanted them. In verse 34 we are told that when He was alone with His own disciples He explained everything to them.
The question today is simple, have we sat alone with Jesus so that He may explain? If you are reading this, you want those ears and may even already have them. Sit with Him today and Listen, then consider carefully what you hear...
Lord, we want our spiritual ears to be open so that we may hear. Bless each one of us today with kingdom truths that only ears that Listen can hear. In your name Yeshua I ask and believe...

About Me
- His Delighted Servant
- My faith is what moves me , it is enjoyable, irresistable, lovely and warm with a sense of mystery. Its like a summer day with a gentle breeze blowing my hair, like a butterfly emerging from a cacoon, like a flower pushing its way through the soil of the earth, like a hidden treasure waiting to be found, yes it is my faith that defines me and I am completely content regardless of what goes on around me...My life with Yeshua is like a well written novel that I can not and will not put down... My greatest desire is to be used by Him to touch hearts without religiousity, denominationalism or legalism. One heart at a time. God Bless All from Shelli
