"There are many mysteries in the Word of God that we do not comprehend, and many of us are content to stop our investigation when we have just begun to receive a little knowledge concerning Christ.
When there begins to be a little
--unfolding of the divine purposes to the mind, and
--we begin to obtain a slight knowledge of the character of God,
we become satisfied
But the truth of God is infinite.
With painstaking effort we should work in the mines of truth,
discovering the precious jewels that have been hidden. . . . Jesus meant just what He said when He directed His disciples to "search the Scriptures" (John 5:39).
*Searching means to compare scripture with scripture, and spiritual things with spiritual. We should not be satisfied with a superficial knowledge."
