Hear The Word Of God

"And it came to pass, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret."  Luke 5:1.  Jesus constantly was teaching.  There was no particular place or occasion that He chose to teach the word of God.  Jesus taught the word.  Today, we are to teach the word of God.  Some teach custom.  Some teach tradition.  Some teach opinion.  The true teacher of God teaches the word of God.  Nothing else matters.  Only the word of God can save the soul.  Only the word of God can enlighten the soul.  Not all want to hear the word of God.  Some want to hear what will sooth the conscience.  Some want to hear what makes one feel good.  The word of God will prick the conscience.  The word of God will not always make one feel good because the word will cut the heart.  Even though the people pressed upon Him to hear the word of God, not all obeyed what Jesus taught.  Why would someone want to hear that which will not benefit them in a spiritual way?  Why would someone want to hear that which will not save the soul?  The word of God is the most powerful instruction in the world to make people right with God.  The word of God is the only instruction that will direct someone to heaven.  Hear the word of God!
