I am reading in the Bible right now Matthew, chapters 8 and 9 where I am coming across many instances of confusion within the disciples. Jesus is going here and there and spreading a lot of information quickly, so quickly that even His own disciples are confused.
Jesus knows what they are thinking and takes time to explain things but other times, Jesus specifically shields information from them. An interesting phenomenon which seems to be all in God’s timing.
It is so interesting to me that while reading the Bible I too get confused and have to take time to go over things again and research, wishing I could just ask Jesus for clarity face to face.
The disciples during this period have Jesus right in front of them but are often too afraid to ask. Crazy.
How often do we do that in our own life now?
We feel that our question is too dumb, or we should already know the answers, but Jesus understands that we are human and these feelings are normal. He teaches us through ways we can understand and shields us from things that are not in God’s timing.
