Jesus sure knows how to ask tough questions! When his disciples were arguing over who forgotten the rest of the picnic lunch, Jesus was probing to see if they had made any spiritual connection between the leaven and the Pharisees. Of course, they hadn't! Like most of us, they only saw what was physically before them, without truly comprehending the spiritual depth of Jesus question.
So, when he asks the disciples, "Are your hearts hardened? (Mark 8:17)", I wonder what actually went through their minds?
This is a great question for us to mull over during Lent? Is there a part of our own hearts that has become calloused? Hardened? Dull?
What kind of things can turn our once vibrant hearts into hearts of stone?
Will we allow the Spirit of Christ the opportunity to soften our hearts?
“And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” - Ezekiel 36:26
