Luke 8:9-10
9 Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?” 10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
God shows us what the Bible means; without Him opening our eyes with faith to perceive what is hidden in plain view there, we remain blind. Likewise, we cannot hear Him call us unless He gives understanding to what He is telling us. We remain deaf and blind unless He calls us and enables us - yet when He does, we must take heed and understand His good news in our free forgiveness and offer of reconciliation in Jesus Christ which we cannot earn or even find by ourselves.
