Matthew 11:15 … Ears to Hear (02/17/17)
“He who has ears, let him understand how to Hear.”
~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:15)
This is actually a reference to the many times in the Gospels when Jesus called not for others to listen to him, but rather to comprehend what he was saying (see also Matthew 13:9, Mark 4:9, Mark 4:23 &Luke 8:18) …
Indeed, Jesus said the same &/or implied the same often during his ministry, not only to get people to slow down and deeply listen to his words, but – far more importantly – to awaken them to the fact that mental comprehension was not enough to follow his Way; that Love was either active or it was nothing, and that Salvation came from Doing for others, not from understanding or worshiping for self (see Matthew 7:21-24, John 13:15-17, Matthew 24:12-14 et al).
