Matthew 15:16
Jesus wanted his disciples to understand him. This is so wonderful, and so important. Many will give up their study of God very prematurely thinking they will never understand. What a terrible thing! The Lord wants each of us, individually, to understand him. He does not want us to have to depend upon a select few to give us an understanding of who he is. He wants us to have teachers, yes. But, teachers are there to assist and facilitate our understanding, not replace it.
