"I don't understand the Bible," a woman in her mid-eighties once shared. "Some of it just doesn't make sense."
She was surprised when I agreed.
Pockets of confusing text exist in scripture. That shouldn't deter any of us. Instead, and I share this with a smile, this should call to learning more.
Biblical commentators exist (and will continue to do so) because we all need Biblical commentary, insight, and, above all, necessary information.
It's okay not to know. It's the start for knowing more.
APPLICATION: Ask. Wonder. Ponder. Even the most scripturally elite still have much to learn, just like all of us. What unites all of us is the joy of learning more. And the joy of learning is just that—a joy.
