Got any ears???
Matthew 11:11-15 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
Jesus was trying to make an important point about John the Baptist, which had implications of vital importance for those who were listening (or who are reading...). John the Baptist was indeed the forerunner of the Messiah, and the last prophet to foretell His coming. That being the case, they should be looking for the Messiah Whom John was pointing to - He had to be around somewhere. They had the unique privilege of being able to look and say: "There He is; God has come to earth!" So the question is... can you see Him? Can you hear Him? Is He speaking to you now??? Can you hear Him now??? Yes you can.
