are you listening?

The author of Hebrews wonders why we’re not listening

Heb 5

What is he trying to say to us? Why is he meeting so much resistance do you think? What is God trying to say to us though these scriptures today?

    this “it is hard to get it across to you since you’ve picked up this bad habit of not listening” really is an ouch isn’t it?

    v. 4 “No one elects himself to this honored position.” …

    I find myself stuck on that verse. It’s not easy to work out one’s calling is it? More than that it’s not easy to understand just where the current understanding of the role of the priest/pastor/minister comes from ….

    The end of chapter 5 is interesting too …. but am I listening to what it really says I wonder. To me it speaks of the need for mentoring and disicpleship – and in the light of yesterday’s passage – also time with God deepening our relationship with him because that’s where our growth as Christians comes from (1 Cor 3)
