1 ST ANNUAL DEGAULLE DRIVE
CHURCH OF CHRIST
MEN’S LEADERSHIP RETREAT!!
OCTOBER 13TH-15TH Tickfaw State Park
This retreat is FREE OF CHARGE & is for all men of the DeGaulle Drive
This Family Retreat is free of charge & is open to all members of the DeGaulle
Drive Church of Christ.
Please plan to be part of this wonderful weekend of fellowship.
As some of us grow older we experience changes in several bodily parts, among them our hearing. Modern science has helped some tremendously but hearing properly remains a problem with many. Some had a hearing problem in the days of our Lord; but a different kind of problem than the one just mentioned.
Jesus had just begun to speak to His disciples in parables. This surprised and, perhaps disturbed, them. They came to Jesus after the parable of the sower and voiced their question. We read in Matthew 13:10: "And the disciples came, and said unto Him, Why speakest Thou unto them in parables?" The answer given is seen in verses 11-15: "He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
Notice especially verse 15: "For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." Jesus said the ears of the people were dull of hearing. Dull, not because of physical impairment but because of spiritual impairment. Dull of hearing describes a condition similar to a drunk whose sensibilities are dulled. He is in a stupor. Dullness of hearing involves a spiritual stupor; a condition wherein the spiritual senses are dulled.
Jesus in effect said that in this condition people were not going to hear Him. They will listen to everyone else but Jesus. When it comes to hearing Jesus, their senses of hearing are tuned to something else. Sad, but terribly true! Dullness of hearing will always be a problem to some. Some times a physical impairment in hearing can contribute to an accident, leading to death. Always, spiritual impairment will lead to spiritual death unless it is corrected in time.
Those outside the kingdom who are dull of hearing are described in Matthew 13:14-15. They would not turn to Jesus. In another part of God's word, inspiration describes some of God's children who are dull of hearing. In either case, death looms and judgment will not treat kindly those who face God having died in such condition.
