He who has ears to hear, let him hear. The call to spiritual hearing — he who has ears to hear, let him hear — appears at crucial junctures in Jesus' teaching as a summons to the deeper level of perception that the spiritual truth requires. The teaching about John's identity as Elijah is precisely the kind of claim that the spiritually attentive will receive and the spiritually dulled will miss. The invitation to hear is the invitation to the kind of receptive attention that opens the kingdom's reality.
