Religious training is not sufficient to give men and women spiritual understanding and discernment. The Pharisees, Sadducees and scribes certainly had an abundance of rabbinical instruction and they had religious credentials, yet they despised the gospel and rejected the only Savior of sinners. In this day when sinners are being told "just decide for Jesus," let us proclaim the necessity of divine revelation and illumination (1 Corinthians 2:14). The Savior said, "All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him" (Matthew 11:27). Allow me to change the famous quote from a former president. "Ask not what the sinner must do for God, but ask, what God must do for the sinner?" When Peter made his great confession of the deity of the Lord Jesus, the Master said, "Blessed (highly favored, well off, to be envied) art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 16:17). Let us go forth bearing the precious seed of the gospel and scattering it abundantly and praying that the Lord of the harvest would be pleased to make His Word effectual in the hearts of those who hear. How will we know if God blesses His Word to the heart of someone? They will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and confess faith in Him via the waters of baptism.
