BY NOW...all of us have been saturated with the LAUREL/YANNY ‘DEBATE/VIRUS’...
AND WHETHER YOU HEARD ‘YANNY’, ‘LAUREL’, or ‘BOTH’...the point is...
WE CAN ALL LISTEN TO THE SAME WORD(S), but WE DON’T ALL HEAR THE SAME MESSAGE...!!! AND AS A PRACTICAL MATTER, isn’t this the reason there are thousands of Christian denominations...ALL POINTING TO THE SAME BIBLE...???
WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE WEEDS ON THIS...A PARTICULAR PARABLE IN SCRIPTURE MAY SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE MATTER...
IN A DIALOG WITH PETER, JESUS ASKED: ‘Who do people say that I am’...PETER RESPONDS: ‘Some say a prophet, some say Elijah, and some say John The Baptist’...AND JESUS THEN ASKS PETER: ‘But who do YOU say I am’...PETER RESPONDS: ‘You are the Messiah, The Christ, the Son Of The Living God...’
JESUS’ ANSWER EXPLAINS THE CONUNDRUM of LAUREL/YANNY...’Flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven’...
HOW MANY TIMES IN SCRIPTURE do we hear JESUS INVITING, ‘Come, FOLLOW me’...
ONLY BY CHOOSING TO FOLLOW JESUS, AND OBEYING THOSE IN AUTHORITY TO INTERPRET what we can’t fully understand on our own...ARE WE COMPLYING WITH JESUS’ final directive, ‘GO OUT TO ALL THE WORLD AND SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS’...!!!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND and LET US ALL CHOOSE TO PUT JESUS FIRST IN OUR LIVES SO WE CAN CLEARLY HEAR AND UNDERSTAND HIS MESSAGE...!!!
