Contemplative Bible Reading

John 6:59-61 (New Living Translation)

59 He (Jesus) said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

60 Many of his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”

61 Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you?

Jesus taught people daily. Sometimes, it just didn’t make sense to those who heard what Jesus said.

Well, no duh. Jesus was the Son of God sent from God to teach mankind the matchless wisdom of God. No wonder it gave some of us a headache, and 2,000 years later it still hurts the head and heart.

I don’t understand everything about God.

Of course I don’t. If I understood, I would be greater than God. Perhaps that is the problem many of us have with all this. On some days we want to be God. We just can’t give up that job to God. Ego I guess.
