Can You Hear Me Now?

John 16:12-15

Sometimes we all talk too much. Sometimes we think we have a lot to say! So today let’s tone it down and keep it as simple as possible and, in the process, give ourselves the opportunity to close our mouths and open our ears!

Jesus continues His Last Supper discourse today and there is one line in today’s Gospel that resonates with me. “I have much more to tell you!” Imagine that! Jesus still has much to say to us, even today! But it’s hard to hear if we keep talking! So sometime today, slow down, calm yourself, and quiet yourself! Step away from the all the noise and chatter and just listen! Listen to Jesus! Listen to the Spirit! Open your ears and your hearts! Listen to the Word of God!
