Mark 12:24
They couldn’t know the Scriptures because they wouldn’t admit to the power of God. They needed to have asked God to show them the truth, but instead they relied on their own understanding.
Heavenly Father, may we never forget that your Word belongs to you. It is not our book, but your book. We will praise you for it and look to you for illumination as we read it. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
