Mark 1:21-22
Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and began teaching. He really knew his stuff! Had been there at creation and following. The disciples were amazed at how much he knew, probably not only what he knew but how he knew so much with such detail and talking like he was there or something!
The scribes were the ones who handled the Scriptures and were held in high regard. But they stumbled and faltered as they taught, really not sure how things tied together. Jesus made it all make sense. Amazing!
The Holy Spirit is my Teacher, tying all things together and applying it to my life and heart. My pastor ties the entire Bible together in his sermons, causing me to look further. He lays out all the truths that used to be mysteries but now can be known. The only mystery now is why God loves me!

Sorry I haven't been commenting on these posts, mom. They're very insightful and I'm getting more out of Mark by reading them.
I was talking to my friend Sally the other day at lunch about people being so wary of having faith in Jesus and insisting that they must see Him and hear Him to know what he was really all about. Basically, the Bible is not sufficient. Sally's response was along the lines of, "So Jesus basically never should have died... he should be eternally dwelling here on Earth so that everyone can be sure enough and believe." It's pretty silly but that's basically what we all want. We want Jesus here so that we can touch his hands and believe. Nope! He definitely did lay out all the truths for us, and thanks God for recording those for us in something we can hold in our hands and read with our eyes. And yeah, why does he love us enough to do that? Will we even know that when we get to heaven? I imagine it will not even matter.
