Luke 2:46 Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Do you know that there are people who want nothing more than just to have someone listen to them. This might have been the real essence of the power of Jesus ministry. He listened! Beginning with the earliest accounts of Jesus earthly ministry we find Him in the temple listening to the teachers. Not only was He listening, but He was also asking questions to get to the root of what they were saying and why they were saying it. This is how real ministry should be, we should converse with people to discover their story and what ministry is going to reach them for Christ. Only then will our presentation of the Gospel be effective. May we be good listeners to the world that so desperately needs Christ is my prayer.
Keeping it Real!
