Was Jesus a Listener Or a Talker

Was Jesus a Listener or a Talker? 
Once upon a time, mouth and ears were in a great debate, of who was the most import and added the most value. Mouth said if it weren’t for me, ears would not have a job to do. Mouth said “I am able to alert people, I am able to comfort people. I am able to say beautiful things like “I love you”.

“I feel like I have the edge on importance.  That being said, I think that’s my case for being the most important”. Now ears said “I listen very attentive and carefully to what all you had to say, and I believe if it wasn’t for ears, everything that you said would be wordless”.

Ears further stated “yes I heard all that you said, and I gave value to it, but a lot of what I heard; I discarded and deleted, so that it could not be processed”.  So the conversation went on for quite some time, but finally both agreed; that mouth, the greatest of all you said and do, is when you pray.

And the ears said “the almighty ears, hears all of your most important words that come from the heart”.  In final conclusion the mouth said “from now on, whatever I say will come from the heart”.

And the ears said “from now on everything that I hear, I will hear from the heart.” And they all lived happily thereafter.
