Childlike

This week in our Bible study, we are exploring the divinity and humanity of Jesus.  The author listed the different viewpoints from the first century after Christ’s death until now. Many struggled with the concept of him being both God and human. I found the different accounts hard to read and skimmed parts.  

I understand the need for deeper study, but the Bible is God’s Word and God said Jesus is both divine and human. If God said it, then it is. End of the discussion for me.

Maybe I don’t have the same curiosity or concerns or doubts as those who question Scripture. Perhaps I’m not enough of a scholar, but in my mind, if it’s true, then there’s nothing to question.

Is this like becoming a child again, as Jesus instructed, believing even if we don’t understand?

St. Paul wrote in Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.”

Dear Lord, while I may not question Your Word, give me the wisdom to study and learn, so that I might share with others. Jesus spent years teaching his disciples, shouldn’t I sit at Your feet too? After all, study does not mean doubt. Amen.

Do you struggle to understand or just accept it without question?
