Bible Commentary

John 12:29

The same sound, different responses. Some people interpret God's voice as nothing more than natural events. Spiritual hearing requires an open heart.

Memory phrase: Open hearts hear God's voice.

Talk about it: Why did some people hear God's voice and think it was only thunder?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me ears to hear Your voice.
