    Mysteries

    Matt.13:9-11 (1 of 2)

    "Who hath ears to hear, let him hear./ And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?/ 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."

    At the end of the Parable of the Sower Jesus uses the expression 'Who has ears' we are already familiar with. The Spirit uses it after each message to the seven churches, for example after his message to the church of Ephesus he says, "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;". The same formula seven times repeated which ought to tell us that not all have the same level of understanding. The seven names are interchangeable and many are called but few are chosen and it tells the raison d'etre for the mysteries of God. God is a Spirit sent the word before the worlds began and the key to understand it is so simple that even a child could do it. Faith is the key.

    Before mysteries there shall be no beaten track. Straight and narrow is the path leading to it. "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:/ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise." St Paul was learned by any standards but he chose the foolish things of the world in order to suffer with his master. "And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are."(1 Co.1:26-28). Nevertheless in the sight of God he was the learned because his ear of faith was most attuned to listen. "He wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned" and he learned by obedience in the manner Jesus in the flesh learned. "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered."(He.5:8)
