Many of the utterances we hear these days are not worth the time it would take to listen to them. The trend appears to be the use of words without proper consideration of their meaning nor the truth value of the statement being made.
There are a few utterances well worth listening to and discerning the meaning they offer.
This morning’s reading from Matthew 16:13-20 contains words from and about Jesus we do well to take careful note of. A whole world of meaning rests on the declaration that Jesus is the Christ.
This can flow on to impact the worth of our own utterances and the power these have on the lives of those who hear us.
