“When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him,
“You are not far from God’s Kingdom.”
No one dared ask him any question after that.” – Mark 12:34
When I read this verse, I picture a moment of recognition, where wisdom shines brightly in a crowded room, and all eyes turn to the one who speaks truthfully.
Mark 12:34 reflects a profound moment of understanding between Jesus and the scribe who answers wisely about the greatest commandment. This acknowledgment highlights that wisdom and understanding of God’s will bring us closer to His Kingdom. As Christians, we are called to seek wisdom in our own lives, striving to understand and live out God’s commandments, which ultimately draws us nearer to Him.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of wisdom and the guidance of Your Word. Help me to seek understanding in my daily life and to live in a way that reflects Your love and truth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
