Interpretation of Scripture

Jesus answered them, “How wrong you are! And do you know why? It is because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power. Now, as for the dead being raised: haven't you ever read in the Book of Moses the passage about the burning bush? There it is written that God said to Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’  He is the God of the living, not of the dead. You are completely wrong!”
Mark 12:24‭, 26-‬27 GNBDK

Reflection:
Scriptures are the word of God, but these although written by men, are inspired by the Holy Spirit. Therefore,  the understanding of scriptures is not intellectual merit, but the work of his Holy Spirit. And it is in complete and total submission, like a little child in his father's arms, that we are called to submit to God and his Holy Spirit will reveal to us the truth. 

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father moves your heart to submit to him just like Jesus his son did. And as you willingly surrender your will, may his Holy Spirit take control teaching you God's ways and convicting you of the truth. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
