Ears to hear
November 20, 2017
The book of Revelation gives us so much to ponder. The future for sure. And lots of lessons for us today. 8 times the phrase appears Whoever has ears. The question being ask is ‘whose listening.’ The writer John has instructed the churches he addresses before. People heard, believed, accepted.
And then some stopped listening, they needed reminding. Live what you know. Or you’ll become luke warm. We understand that: lukewarm soup, lukewarm coffee or tea. No thanks!
Learning new spiritual truths is important to be a growing Christ follower. But learning without living it is the Apostle John’s focus in Revelation. We face every temptation they did. We have as many distractions, maybe more. Listen! Be reminded of what we’ve learned. Put those precious lessons into practice.
