“They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”” – Mark 9:11
When I read this verse, I picture the disciples, filled with curiosity and confusion, seeking understanding about God’s plan.
Mark 9:11 reveals the disciples’ inquiry about Elijah’s return, emphasizing their desire for clarity amidst the mysteries of faith. This moment reminds us that questions are a natural part of our spiritual journey; seeking understanding is essential as we navigate our relationship with God. As Christians, we can embrace our inquiries and seek wisdom through prayer, Scripture, and fellowship, knowing that God invites us to explore our faith deeply.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for inviting us to ask questions and seek understanding. Help us to trust in Your plans, even when we don’t have all the answers. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
