Get Understanding

Mark 4:21-25 NRSV

“He said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under the bushel basket, or under the bed, and not on the lampstand? For there is nothing hidden, except to be disclosed; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. Let anyone with ears to hear listen!” And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. For to those who have, more will be given; and from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.”

Things are not always as they seem. These wisdom sayings help us to understand the parables. At times, even the disciples misunderstood Jesus. While it is there - it must be revealed. It is revealed when we seek him. The more we seek wisdom in understanding Jesus and the kingdom, the more we receive. Those who have no interest in understanding will find the selves further away from him. So, get understanding. enough for now.
