Communication is always a challenge. Every person you talk to is different than you are. We generally do better when we know each other, but our conversations can go off the rails anyway. Throughout time, humans have struggled to understand our Creator. Some people try to build their understanding of God from what makes sense to them. Others actually read God’s Word for themselves, but they don’t quite get the message straight. The religious leaders of Jesus’ time were like this. They were serious about reading, knowing, and following the Law that God had given. Unfortunately, they had missed what God meant. Jesus tries to show them their mistake, but they can’t see it. Perhaps we can learn from what He says to them.
