And there are also many other things which Jesus did,
the which, if they should be written every one,
I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. John 21:25
When we think we know it all, there is always more to know.
We can never rest on our laurels with God. Never.
What we know can have a different angle, a different perspective.
Maybe God will take the idea, smash it and give us a new revelation,
or maybe He will add to the knowledge He gave us by giving us a new idea,
something we never thought of that compliments or expands what He has already taught us.
Each word of God is alive. The Bible is not stagnant. A bible teacher I know is really good.
He has many revelations and thoughts and understandings of the word. His are not wrong.
Neither are those who see things from a different angle or perspective.
We learn great revelations from the Word of the Lord as we study it.
There are not any that are not worthy of consideration.
As long as they do not get twisted by deception,
or are not against the truth presented in whole word of God,
we can just keep sitting at His feet to learn more.
There is more than one way to look at mercy.
There was a mercy seat even on the Ark of the Covenant.
Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:7
In Lamentations, we read: His mercies are new every morning.
He teaches us the same idea in many different ways. God does that with everything.
There are no wrong answers, really. What He teaches us is fullness and life.
The richness of how God sees mercy will take many years to fully comprehend.
God is never boring. Those who think that do not know Him and may hear those most frightening words when they meet Him face to face: Depart from Me, I never knew you!
Learning God’s ways takes much humility and yielding.
We have our own ways of thinking that can get in the way of learning God’s ways.
That is where the yielding and humility comes in.
Scriptural References:
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him,
then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat
that was upon the ark of testimony,
from between the two cherubims: and He spake unto him.
Numbers 7:89
