In response to the disciples' inquiry as to why Jesus was speaking in parables, He gives his explanation by saying that the listener should be receptive to the message. There is a moral dimension in teaching.The one who is a disciple is willing to accept the teaching.The one with a questioning heart is so filled with attitudes that are negative the he is not willing to accept the teaching. Jesus is hinting that in order to understand his message about the kingdom of God, one should have an openness of heart.
We should ask the Lord to open our heart to the words of the Lord so that we may be transformed by His teaching.As long as the Lord is with us, we know that we can find our way in the labyrinth of worldly concerns and anxieties.
