In today’s passage, we meet Jesus in a discourse using a figure of speech. He makes some interesting contrasts between an owner and a robber or thief.
An owner approaches his own through the gate. An owner’s voice is recognized or known by his own. The robber or thief does the opposite of all these.
In similar manner, modernity presents us with so much artificiality and robs us of our godly heritage. So reach that today, including some spiritually coded things, are fake. They are so loud to be neglected. But the voice of the owner, Jesus Christ, is not very loud.
The things of God are usually not flashy like those of the world. Hence, only the discerning understand, appreciate and accept them. Do not be confused by the empty noise of these modern times such as the craze for materialism and fame. Identify God’s voice amidst this word’s confusion.

PRAYER
I confess, O Lord, that the wax of these modern times has blocked my ears from hearing You. Please unblock my ears and help me to hear Your voice. Amen.
