We started a series yesterday on parables in Matthew.  We began with the parable of the sower.  “He who has ears, let him hear”.  Jesus uttered these words at the end of the parable.  The primary focus yesterday was on the idea of obedience.  Hearing can mean that you heard what someone said.  You heard it, but you are not going to do anything about it.  Jesus has in mind a different meaning for hearing.  A better way to understand Jesus’ statement is this:  “He who has ears, let him obey”.
