Good point Moorookamick!
(Matthew 13:10) So the disciples came and said to him: “Why do you speak to them by the use of illustrations?”
Jesus went on to explain:
(Matthew 13:15) For the heart of this people has grown unreceptive, and with their ears they have heard without response, and they have shut their eyes, so that they might never see with their eyes and hear with their ears and get the sense of it with their hearts and turn back and I heal them.’
God's Word serves to determine the heart condition of those that hear it.
(Hebrews 4:12) For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints from the marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Just as relatively few responded to Jesus' teaching in his day, most will reject the worldwide preaching taking place today. - Matthew 24:14.
