Matthew 21:11<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo the multitudes said, \u2018This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.\u2019 \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Partial revelation is not bad; it\u2019s simply a sign of progressive understanding. The multitudes who were chanting, \u2018Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord\u2019 did not fully understand whom they were shouting about. And when people asked them, \u201cWho is this?\u201d their response betrayed their limited understanding. The multitudes only saw Jesus as a prophet from Nazareth, period! But Jesus knew this, and He was not disturbed by it. He simply knew that partial revelation was progressive understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With all our knowledge of Jesus today from the Scriptures and experience, I believe it\u2019s still partial understanding. In fact, the mystery of the Triune God may always be a mystery on this side of eternity because we know in part. However, a day is coming when we shall see all things precisely as they really are. Worship God and follow Him according to the level of your understanding. Our only cry should be that we don\u2019t remain stagnant, but grow in the progressive knowledge of our God; and His will for our generation and for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLord, I know I only see in part today, but according to what I have seen, I will worship You wholly and obey You fully, even as I crave for further revelations of God by Your Holy Spirit. Amen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Matthew 21:11 \u201cSo the multitudes said, \u2018This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.\u2019 \u201c Partial revelation is not bad; it\u2019s simply a sign of progressive understanding.
