The challenge we find in today’s readings is that of: hearing the Word of God with our hearts and responding to it in how we live. Moses was telling the people to listen closely to what God is wanting them to hear and know, but always that another will come after him. God finally sent His Son to us and as the Son, the people heard God’s voice directly and they are astonished at His teaching, for it was different than the way the scribes had been teaching them, it was with a new authority! Not only does Jesus teach them with words but He also shows them how His authority is different by casting out an unclean spirit from a man. We too, can be amazed by all that Jesus can do, for nothing is impossible with God.
