More Bone Than Brain
Sometimes with Parkinson's
disease, balance is an issue. One night
I fell and hit my head on the nightstand.
I was sure I was bleeding all over.
Nope, but it did leave a mark for a while. I praised God I had more bone than brain.
Other times being bone-headed
isn't an advantage. I can be rather dim
at times. Some people learn by reading something, some learn by watching other's
lives, and some have to touch the paint to see if it is wet. It depends on my
day, or the issue at hand, whether I learn intelligently or not.
Nicodemus came to Jesus because
he wasn't understanding some things that he should. He had a hard time grasping
what Jesus was telling him. He was a little dim at the moment. Jesus knows that
Nicodemus knows these things, He just wants to help him realize it.
Today's verses might apply to
some this way, "Aren't you a church-going person and knowest not these
things about being born again?" To others God may be using this verse to
say, "Didn't you grow up in a Christian home and knowest not these
things." Applied to me this passage says, "Aren't you a preacher and
knowest not these things?" This helps me see that this question is
rhetorical. But I still need help seeing
some things because I can have more bone than brain.
"Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel
