Key Verse: "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
- Revelation 2:29 KJV
These words extend the message beyond the church to which
they were spoken, and address themselves to every one to whom the word
comes, and to whom an ear is given to hear and receive it. Thus each message
sent to the churches becomes a message sent personally to us.
If we have a spiritually circumcised ear, if we are willing to listen to the voice of the Lord, he speaks to us in every message as personally and as distinctly as he spoke to each individual church. It is indeed an unspeakable blessing to have this ear given to us that we may receive in humility, simplicity, and godly sincerity what the Lord speaks in the word of his grace.
It is by his
word that he knocks at the door of our hearts; and what a blessing he has
pronounced on the man who hears his voice and opens the door when he hears
the knock, like a fond and affectionate wife when she hears the knock of her
husband at the door of his house--"Behold, I stand at the door, and
knock--if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with me" (Rev. 3:20).
