John 5:16-28 - What are you listening to?

John 5:16-28 - What are you listening to?

Jesus seems to continually be saying, eternal life can start now. Eternal life begins with having the ears to hear, and the eyes to see what is all around. 

““I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the person who hears My word [the one who heeds My message], and believes and trusts in Him who sent Me, has (possesses now) eternal life [that is, eternal life actually begins—the believer is transformed], and does not come into judgment and condemnation, but has passed [over] from death into life.” - ‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Spurgeon said it so well;

“It does not appear from our text that everlasting life is communicated by drops of water, or in any other ceremonial manner; but the command is, ‘Hear, and your soul shall live.’” (Spurgeon)

Hear, and your sould shall live, today! This begs the question, what are we listening to?
