We serve a Great God who has such good news for us. In the reading today (John 8:39-59), the people just were not hearing it. Jesus said, "Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say." The only language that they evidently understood was the devil's dialect,"Lies". ("When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.")
It is so clear how important it is to surround ourselves with truth and good news so that any other language sounds foreign. As truth and good news becomes our native language, it is evident that we are in God's family, and we have the capacity to hear our Father clearly.
Lord, help us to know You and delight in hearing You.
