So many of the religious folks Jesus interacted with were not getting it.

They studied and memorized and discussed the Scriptures. But they failed to understand them properly.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” (Matthew 22:29).

It seems their knowledge of the Scriptures was a head knowledge only. They did not open their hearts to God’s Word nor to His power. They had no personal experience with God.

So they erred.

May my approach to the Word be more than intellectual (that is, with my head).

May I open my heart, intending to make what I read part of me.

Otherwise, I too shall err.
