Some people just don't "get it". It doesn't matter how old they are, where they come from, or how smart they are; they just don't "get it"!!! This young lady is obviously not thinking about Geology, but rather music. And her answers proclaim that loud and clear!!!
But, what if she wasn't in Geology class? What if she was in a crowd listening to Jesus? What would she hear? I wonder...
Luke, Chapter 8
1 Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; 3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others; who served them from their possessions. 4 When a great multitude came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable. 5 “The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it. 6 Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it. 8 Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9 Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10 He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation. 14 That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 15 That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produces fruit with patience.
Admittedly, sometimes Jesus' words are a bit hard to understand and even his own apostles had to have things explained to them at first. But, to those who want to hear, the word of God will be plain enough. Like most things, attitude is paramount!!! Today, we are fortunate to have what we need to know to get to heaven "all spelled out" for us. The question is: do we have our ears on? I can't really help you, except to say that the answer has nothing to do with Classic rock, Punk rock or Hard rock. Are you listening?
