Jesus whispers. He speaks dark and hidden parables. But He instructs His disciples to shout out His words on the housetops (Matthew 10:26-27).
This is the history of the church in a nutshell. A Pharisee traveling to Damascus is throne from his horse and Jesus speaks to Him, and the mission to the Gentiles begins. A wealthy young man hears a sermon about giving up earthly goods, hears the call of Jesus, sells everything, and soon he’s surrounded by disciples who devote themselves to humble service in the growing cities of Europe. A lone monk agonizes over the opening chapter of Romans, Jesus whispers to Him, and He shouts out a Reformation.
