Opis

It seems that the scriptures are like a divine prism. If a ray of light goes through them, it will radiate in all directions and all places, thereby giving light and knowledge to the reader. This has a double purpose. First and most important is that we can go from a simple, superficial reading of the scriptures, to exploring the wide field of divine revelation that the Creator has given us. This is what Paul was referring to when he talked moving on from milk to meat. Second, this proves to men without faith how perfect God's work is and how challenging and complex the scriptures can be to study. From these two facts we can come to several conclusions that should not be underestimated. First is that only those who are meek and humble of heart have access to and can understand these deeper truths. We know that those who lack these qualities will miss even the simplest truths that can be understood. Christ taught that those who will humble themselves will be exalted. Only the people who become child-like and are obedient to the Father's will find the truth -- the real truth. Jesus taught this principle many times. And, in saying that the Kingdom of God was for little children, He revealed another great truth, because only those who are guided by revelation can find the truth and will discover the pearls of great price which are hidden in the scriptures. In this volume: Paul's, Peter's, John's and James' epistles are scrutinized deeply. Details are between the lines, under the lines ans sometimes even out of the lines: look for connections. The scriptures are like a puzzle we need to put all the pieces together to see the whole picture, in this case to be stubborn is a good quality: endure in searching or better investigate.
