“Jesus answered them,
“Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?” – Mark 12:24
When I read this verse, I picture Jesus calmly addressing those who challenge Him, revealing their misunderstandings about Scripture and the power of God.
Mark 12:24 reminds us that spiritual missteps often stem from a lack of knowledge and understanding of God’s Word. When we overlook the Scriptures, we risk misunderstanding God’s nature and power, leading us to live in a way that is not aligned with His will. As Christians, we can apply this by investing time in studying the Bible and seeking a deeper relationship with God, ensuring that our faith is firmly rooted in His truth.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help me to grow in my understanding of Your Scriptures and to recognize Your power in my life. May I seek Your truth daily and be guided by it in all my decisions. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
