HEARING THE WORD

A note in my Reformation Study Bible recently caught my eye. In the introduction to Romans, the editors point out that John Chrysostom, the fifth century's greatest preacher, had someone read Romans aloud to him once a week. Wow! We all know how important it is to read God's Word daily, but I like the idea of regularly listening to the Word. Are we not blessed indeed to have the Bible on cassette tapes, compact discs and even on our computers! Perhaps we should follow Chrysostom's example and be readers and hearers of the Word! (It goes without saying that we should also be doers of the Word. [Wait, shouldn't that go without saying?!])
