Overcast Skies and Absence of Light

Psalms 97:2

Anyone who has not experienced spiritual rebirth by the divine intervention of God will assert that the teachings of Jesus are uncomplicated. However, upon being baptized by the Holy Spirit, he discovers that there is an atmosphere of obscurity and mystery surrounding Him. Our initial understanding of this occurs when we encounter the teachings of Jesus Christ in close proximity. To attain comprehensive comprehension of Jesus' teachings, one must solely rely on the illumination of the Divine Spirit inside oneself. If we have never experienced the act of removing our casual, religious shoes from our casual, religious feet— eliminating all the excessive informality with which we approach God— it is doubtful whether we have ever truly stood in His presence. Individuals who have a casual and dismissive attitude towards God are typically those who have not been acquainted with Jesus Christ. The profound understanding of Jesus Christ's actions brings to a sense of incredible joy and freedom. However, it is only after this realization that one encounters the unfathomable "darkness" of comprehending His true identity.

Jesus proclaimed, "The utterances that I communicate to you possess a spiritual essence and are imbued with vitality" (John 6:63). Previously, the Bible held no significant meaning for us, appearing as mere words without clarity. However, a transformative moment occurs when Jesus reiterates these words to us, imbuing them with spiritual essence and vitality, particularly when our circumstances render the words fresh and relevant. God communicates with us through words rather than visions and dreams. When an individual reaches God, they do it by the most straightforward means, which is through the use of words.
