Jesus told his disciples: 16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light. 18 Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.” |

After Jesus explained the Sower and the Seed parable to this followers, he appealed to their seeing and hearing. The character of the believer would eventually come to light for all to see. Like the person's core, their priorities would soon be apparent. One's character depended upon, in part, to their friends. Here, they had a choice, for what they heard from their “buddies” affected them. If one held close to wise Christians and God's word, they would receive more insight. If the disciple drifted away from fellow believers, the wisdom they had would melt also away. What do others see in you? What do you listen to during the day? How does that improve your life? |
