Luke 16:29
“But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.”

When coming back from a trip abroad, I would make sure to bring back souvenirs from the country where I have been, so, maybe my wife and my kids would believe that I have been to that country. And so when I tell them stories, it would really be believable.
However, have you talked to a person who said he just came from Heaven (or maybe, from hell), and told you everything about the place and even brought a “souvenir” just to make you believe in all that he said?
Most probably, not. And most probably also, you would not be encountering a person like that for the rest of your earthly life. But, is it enough justification to say that Heaven (or hell) does not exist? Is it enough to say that everything written in the Bible is not true? Definitely not!
For the very person to whom we should believe that Heaven exist is the Lord Jesus, Himself for He came from that place. He taught us about it, and even showed us the way to reach that place. And all we need is to listen to the Word and keep it in our hearts forever. Let it renew our lives and the lives of others. When Jesus sent out His disciples, He tells them, “Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me.” He knows that His disciples can be trusted and would only share the right things based on His teachings.
In Cana, Mama Mary instructed the helpers to listen to Him and do whatever He tells them. During the Transfiguration, God the Father instructed us to listen to Him.
So as a response, would you not listen to Him?
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, let there be no misunderstanding. May we accept it as Your truth and listen to Your message to us, and use it to change our lives, for Your Word will accomplish its purpose. Amen +
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
