Have you ever wondered what it was like to sit at Jesus' feet ... to hear him teaching? Perhaps you have had the experience of being in the presence of an extremely good teacher, one who manages to capture your attention and hold on to it. One who knows you well enough to be aware of the moments when you are paying attention and the times when you are not, or the things that will excite you and the things that you find boring.
Jesus was a good teacher, one of those who knew how to hold the attention of those who were listening, one who knew how to speak to the issues that were important or pressing on the minds and hearts of those who were listening. This is the reason why many gathered together so that there was no longer any room for them, not even around the door (Mk 2:2).
If you were one of those who was gathered around the door and trying listen to Jesus' words, what would you be hearing? Would Jesus words be intriguing? Have you ever considered the fact that others are always listening to what we say? Do they find what we say intriguing? How can we give life to those who hear our words?
Have a great day.
