MATTHEW 13:15, C. H. Cayce “For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”
It is God’s people whose heart waxes gross, and whose ears become dull of hearing, and who close their eyes to the truth. The heart of the unregenerate is desperately wicked, and does not become gross. He has no spiritual ears nor eyes to become dull or to close.
The heart of a child of God may become gross, his ears dull of hearing, and his eyes closed. When he is in this condition the gospel of Christ, the glad tidings, is hid to him, and he is lost to its sweetness.
When one is in this condition he is not converted from his errors, or from the ways of the world, and the light of the glad tidings does not shine unto him. It is hid to him, and he is lost in the darkness of the world, false theory, false religion, false doctrine, false practice, doubt and despair.
Yet, notwithstanding his losing so much while journeying here as a pilgrim, he shall not be utterly cast down nor destroyed, for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand, and will at last take the poor wanderer home to Himself, where sorrows and troubles and afflictions will be no more. C. H. Cayce, The Primitive Baptist, Sept. 8, 1908.
