Have you had your hearing checked lately? According to the National
Institute on Deafness 36 million American adults have some degree of hearing
loss. Mark 7:32-37 records one instance of Jesus healing a deaf man. They were utterly astonished, saying,
"He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute
to speak." Mark 7:37. This passage above in John 8 is not dealing with
hearing loss in anyone’s ears. It is concerning hearts that couldn’t hear and
understand. Hearts and minds that were closed to Jesus’ message of who He was…who
He is. The Pharisees continued to close their “ears” to accepting what Jesus
was teaching. Are your ears closed to
hearing and understanding Jesus’ teachings?
RSVP: Jesus is inviting us today to gather around His table where He is
teaching today. Will you meet Him at His table and feast on His words of
teaching?
Prayer~ Jesus, I listen to what You say, and treasure Your commandments. I
keep my ears tuned to Your wisdom as I cry out for insight, and ask for
understanding. I search for them like hidden treasures. Then I will understand
what it means to fear the LORD, and I will gain knowledge of You, my God. For You
LORD grant wisdom! From Your mouth comes knowledge and understanding. Proverbs
2:1-6 NLT
