“Whoever has ears, let them hear.” Matthew 13:9

Scriptures – especially the words of Jesus, have universal meanings beyond applying to the immediate circumstances he was addressing.

Some people are born with a spiritual awareness. Some have a lot, some a little ….and some have none at all. Many feel the presence of a higher power that influences their lives. These are those Jesus understood who were capable of immediately receiving his message.

Atheists seem to be among those born spiritually impaired. Think of this as being handicapped spiritually.
