A LISTENING EAR III

“The heavens were opened and as I looked on, a white horse appeared; its rider was called ‘The Faithful and True.’ Justice is his standard in passing judgment and in waging war. His eyes blazed like fire, and on his head were many diadems (royal crowns); and he has a name written upon him, which no one knows except himself. And he is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God” (The Revelation of Jesus Christ 19:10-13).

It is left to us to determine if the words and messages we receive from others are the words and messages from the Word of God. The Bible is not the Word of God. Jesus Christ is The Word of God. The Bible contains the words of God. We are called to listen.

Jesus, Word of God, open my ears to hear. “Let him who has an ear hear what the Spirit says.” Lord, speak clearly, loudly, and slowly, so I won’t miss what you say.

“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life.” Jesus
