Bible Question: I don't get it! How could Peter and the other apostles recognize Jesus as the Messiah yet the religious leaders and the other Jews did'nt? I know they all read the same prophecies found in the old testament, so how come the Pharisees could'nt understand? Was Peter more spiritual than everybody else? |
Bible Answer: humility, Forgive me, but I hope you will permit me to answer your question in an indirect way as I have hopes it will do more to edify both you and the rest of us as well. I'd encourage you to read three passages and consider if they shed any light onto your question, then return and tell us what you see in those passages so we may all be blessed from your study. Matthew 16:13-18 John chapter 8 2 Cor 4:1-6. May God shed light on your study of His word. In Chist, Beja |
