There are lots of things going on in the world that are crying out to us for our listening attention, but are we listening to Jesus? The Father's voice from the bright cloud spoken at Jesus' transfiguration still speaks to us today: "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him" (Matthew 17:7). In the midst of so many things calling out for our attention, there is only one thing needful, and that is listening to Jesus, and in listening to him, receiving the gifts that He alone can give: forgiveness, life, and salvation.
