Do you ever struggle to understand the Bible? Do you have a hard time grasping whatever point Jesus is trying to get across? Have you ever thought that maybe the finer points of God’s Word are just beyond your grasp? And, then, let’s say you do understand. What now? What do you do with that? You’re not alone!
