Четверг

(1 Tim. 6, 17–21; Luke 18, 31–34) The Lord told the disciples about His suffering, but they did not understand anything from what was said: “these words were hidden to them” (Luke 18:34). And afterward they did not judge “what to teach” the believers, “even though Jesus Christ was crucified” *28 (1 Cor. 2:2). The time had not come, they did not understand anything about this secret; but when it came, they understood it, and it was taught and explained to everyone. This happens to everyone, and not only in relation to this secret, but also to any other. What is unclear at the beginning eventually becomes clear; as if a ray of light enters the consciousness and makes clear what was previously dark. Who explains this? The Lord Himself, the grace of the Spirit living in believers, the guardian angel - but certainly not the man himself. He is a receiver here, not a producer. Despite all this, other things remain incomprehensible for a lifetime, and not only for individuals, but for all of humanity. Man is surrounded by incomprehensibility: some are explained to him during his life, while others are left until another life: he will see it there. And this is even for God-enlightened minds. Why doesn't it open now? Because the other is inconceivable, therefore, there is no need to talk about it; otherwise it does not affect medical purposes, i.e. it would be harmful to know prematurely. In another life, much will be clarified, but other objects and other secrets will be revealed. The created mind will never be devoid of incomprehensible mysteries. The mind rebels against these bonds: but rebel - do not rebel, and the bonds of mystery cannot be broken. Humble yourself, proud mind, “under the mighty hand of God” (1 Peter 5:6) and believe! Apostle Paul: “I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” You might be interested in:
