What did Jesus actually teach about himself? With the endless opinions of man, precisely knowing what Christ taught about himself proves to be crucial in our understanding of him. Attempting to wrap our feeble minds around these deep theological understandings is an effort that must be accompanied with a dependance upon Him.
"There are few chapters in the Bible, perhaps, where we feel our own shallowness of understanding so thoroughly, and discover so completely the insufficiency of all human language to express "the deep things of God." Men are often saying they want explanations of the mysteries of the Christian faith, the Trinity, the Incarnation, the person of Christ, and the like. Let them just observe, when we do find a passage of explanatory statements on a deep subject, how much there is that we have no line to fathom and no mind to take in. "I want more light," says proud man. God gives his desire in this chapter, and lifts up the veil a little. But behold, we are dazzled by the very light we wanted, and find we have not eyes to take it in!" - J.C. Ryle
Join us in prayer & worship tomorrow morning as we take a plunge into such deep theological waters at The Journey. John 5:16-29 is where we'll see Jesus himself giving a formal, systematic and orderly defense of his divinity and relationship with the Father.
May we receive understanding from Him for His glory alone.
For The King,
Cody Parman
