Mat 13:15-16 (NIV) For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’

BUT BLESSED ARE YOUR EYES BECAUSE THEY SEE, and your ears because they hear.

There is a special attitude in those who are ready to see the things of God. We can see that they really want to know about God and His ways.

They are teachable; they ask sincere questions; they apply themselves; and they have some understanding of what is being said. These are the people Jesus spent His time with. Like the rich young ruler, He would throw out a test to see where people were. If they failed the test, He moved on. If they, like Zacchaeus, passed the test, He took the next step toward salvation for them.
