Understanding
is something that is forever withheld from the wicked (to the extent of their
wickedness) – and that includes each of us.
To the extent that we live our lives out of harmony with the light that
is within us, we find ourselves unable to understand the words of the
Lord. We are rarely given understanding
we are unwilling to live, and when we get it we often find it taken away
thereafter.
With
this principle in mind (and the Lord describes it well in His summary at the
end of Daniel), when there is something that we don’t understand in the Gospel
the first step is to humble our hearts and repent of our sins. The second step is to become committed to
live the correct principle once we understand it (and to live it even before we
understand it, if it is a principle that we can do that with). Having done that, the windows of Heaven will
open and our understanding will increase dramatically.
