It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”(Luke 14:35 ESV)
As Jesus wraps up this challenge as to whether we are ready to count the cost, take up our crosses, and follow Him, He uses one of His brief summary statements: Check your ears. Are they there? Are you using them? Are you letting it sink in? Is it in there: in your heart and mind? Are you hearing, trusting and being transformed into a citizen of heaven? He makes us look - not to see if we have ears, but if we are listening, learning and living by faith in Him.
