Luke 24:45-49 "He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the scriptures. Then He said to them, thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you, but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."
God truly desires for us to understand and comprehend His Word. Before He shares Luke's words on The Great Commission, He specifically anoints them with a supernatural understanding of what He is about to tell them. He then explains why He came, and died and resurrected and why. Then, He promises The Holy Spirit so they can continue to comprehend and understand His Word after Pentecost. God keeps providing every opportunity and possibility for us to know Him through His Word. Our comprehension and understanding can improve. He has given every believer at salvation the Holy Spirit to reveal the meaning of His Word. Read the passage again and know His desire is for you and me to know Him through His Word. Talk to Him about this whenever you open The Bible.
In His Word,
Pastor Fred
