I’m not convinced we’ve ever truly understood Jesus
At least not as deeply or fully as he intended
- not “as deeply,” because we tend to stay on the surface
• we read the words and verses without penetrating their depth
• we grab at interpretations that make immediate sense
◦ and we settle for simplistic "commentary" explanations
- I don’t think Jesus taught in riddles – sometimes, perhaps
• he did not teach in a secret code that required deciphering
• but it's possible that his intent was that the meaning of his message would be revealed to us
◦ and only then will we be able to live it in truth and deed
