Jesus, speaking with the Pharisees, rebuked them for their words spoken against God. They weren't aware but Jesus was! From this Jesus revealed an important fact. "For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart." (Matt. 12:34) Whatever is in the heart of a person, that's what they will talk about. It doesn't take long to listen to someone and they will talk about what means the most to them.
Let's turn the page. The same with God. What means the most to God is what He speaks about. And what He speaks about should be very important to us. When those Holy Spirit inspired apostles wrote about the resurrected Christ, the power of His resurrection which this gospel surrounds it was the single most important thing to God's heart. The result? These men could not stop speaking about this Jesus. There was no shame in speaking about their Savior. Jesus commissioned those apostles to go about in this world preaching this gospel and they didn't stop talking about it!
God also speaks of a covenant surrounding the resurrection of His Son. God is a covenant God! He keeps His promises with man and when we come to the agreement made, His covenant because of Christ speaks volumes: "For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more." (Heb. 8:12) God speaks! Jesus speaks! What do we speak? The mouth speaks whatever fills our hearts. What a promise God has made to us and He will keep His covenant. Will we keep His covenant? It depends on what means the most to you. Whatever you love, you will talk about. If you pay attention in your relationships in day to day life, what is it that you speak about the most? That reveals to others what you love the most. Take time and read God's word. You will hear what means most to Him. Listen to your conversations today and hear what you speak. What do you learn about yourself?
