Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear Our Lord's stories of grace? Jesus chose to share the greatest truths of the faith in parables, mysteries that He revealed to those who came close enough to understand. His parables were careful stories, ones that would reveal the truth to believers and keep it hidden from unbelievers. No one was excluded against his will. Jesus invited people to ask Him to explain. Every person in earshot was given a chance to deepen her or her understanding: “Then pay attention to how you listen; for to those who have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”(Luke 8: 18)  The disciples did ask for further explanation and Jesus assured them that they were blessed for it. And those who did ask were separated from those who did not. So, draw close, listen hard to what He’s saying, and ask earnestly for ears to hear and soft heart to receive.
