The Jewish faith in Jesus’ day was dominated by rabbis–teachers of the law. Their doctrine was thorough. Jesus told them, “You diligently study the scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about Me, yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.”(John 5:39-40)
They knew the written word of God very well, but not the living Word, even as He stood before them.
It is fine to explain about God, but far too few people today are experiencing the living Christ in their lives. We need more than just scriptural knowledge. We desperately need God’s supernatural presence in, and through our lives.
