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.
