"the One who came still comes and the One who spoke still speaks"

 

August 9

 

The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field.

Matthew 13:44 (NCV)

 

When you list the places Christ lived, draw a circle around the town named Nazareth—a single-camel map dot on the edge of boredom.  For thirty of his thirty-three years, Jesus lived a common life….

 

And the town may have been common, but his attention to it was not….He saw how a seed on the path took no root (Luke 8:5) and how a mustard seed produced a great tree (Matt. 13:31-32).  Jesus listened to his common life.

 

Are you listening to yours?
