As I was reading Matthew 13 today, I found it interesting that even Jesus’ disciples didn’t always understand everything He said.
I think I like to think of them as these geniuses who knew everything about the Torah and God’s will because they were in the presence of Jesus.
But even they had to pull Him to the side sometimes and be like, “what did you mean when you said this? Why are you always talking in parables?”
It’s refreshing to know that we don’t have to understand everything to believe.
We can believe and still struggle with what some things mean.
It is ok to ask God what He means when He says things. It is ok to ask God why things happen the way they do.
God is big enough to take our questions.
We may not always get the straight easy answer that we want, but hopefully we will get some deeper understanding of how much God loves us.
