“of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.” (Hebrews 5:11)
The author of Hebrews tells his audience that what he wanted to teach them was hard to explain because they had become dull of hearing. When we become dull of hearing, we are unable to understand spiritual truths. Spiritual truths are not difficult to understand for people with an average intelligence and a reasonable spiritual maturity. But spiritual truths become difficult to understand when we become spiritually insensitive. Have you become dull of hearing? Are you able to bear everything Jesus wants to say to you? “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.” (John 16:12)
