Matthew 13:11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
Being able to understand the Gospel is not a natural occurrence. That may sound odd when we know that God created us; but when I say natural I mean of this world, not God’s original creation.
The world breaks us away from hearing the gospel, blocks our ears, covers our eyes and then fills us full of garbage that has nothing to do with Christ or the Gospel.
We need the Holy Spirit to give us our daily understanding so that we can continue to grow in the Gospel message and in God’s strength.
