Listen and Understand

"Then he said, "Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand." (Mark 4:9, NLT)

Some people in the crowd were looking for evidence to use against Jesus; others truly wanted to learn and grow. Jesus' words were for the honest seekers.

We hear with our ears, but there is a deeper kind of listening with the mind and heart that is necessary in order to gain spiritual understanding from Jesus' words.
