And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God. Mark 12:24 KJV
Jesus told the sadducees that you are greatly mistaken. In other words, Jesus told them that your doctrine is wrong. Now this, He told them that you have an error in yourself because of two major things:
- You do not know scripture. You see, people who do not attend sound teaching and also do not read they will always have error in their view of matters. The unfortunate part is that these people are too argumentative and always want to express an opinion on things they do not have enough understanding. They want to give advice on things they do not have knowledge of. In Proverbs 4, it says: get understanding, get wisdom, and in all thy getting, get understanding. People of understanding will know when to comment, when to ask a question, and when to stay. When you are able to do this, you will become a very wise person.
- You do not know the power of God. This is a tragedy most people are in. You must avoid it.
One of the most important things you should strive to know in your life is the power of God. It brings distinction in life, just as it did with the Israelites in Egypt.
People who do not know the power of God ask unnecessary questions and bring doubt where faith must prevail. The power of God does not require explanation. The power of God is not subject to anyone. It does not require facts or being proven by man’s dogmas. A man of faith will always know the doings of God because the Spirit of God is in him. Carnal people ask irrelevant questions and argue unnecessarily.
May you get wisdom today and all in your getting, get understanding.
These sadducees were carnal people wanting to do God’s work. Do not be part of them. Of such, run away.
May you get wisdom today and in all your getting, get understanding.
God bless you, and have a blessed day.
