Jesus said to His disciples, "Let them [Pharisees] alone; they are blind guides (of the blind). If a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a pit." (Matthew 15:14)

How often do we find ourselves making mistakes because of bad assumptions, faulty logic, misconceptions or because we lack an important element of information? His Word provides us with critical wisdom and knowledge, but it is useless to us if we do not understand it within it completeness and context.

If we are to understand His scripture, we must spend time in study, but it is equally important that we do not seek to be wise within our own estimation ( Proverbs 3:6-8 ). It is for this reason He created His church, so that we may be led in the comprehension of truth. His Word is written for us, but we must seek to understand it within the historical, cultural and linguistic context of the time, space and people through which His message was recorded and imparted to the generations. Taken from its context, we may become misguided and assume false doctrines.

So that we may remove confusion as to the meaning of what we read and what we hear, we should look to His church. It is for this reason He appointed His apostles, to spread the truth of His Word to all the lands and throughout the generations. Through those who witnessed and those ordained after them, the generations have heard, but He also warned us of the false prophets who would appear along the way who would sow confusion and lure the people away from Him (Matthew 7:15, 24:11, 24:24, Mark 13:22). If we have any doubt as to our understanding, we must discern in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us so that we may receive the wisdom and understanding of His truth (John 14:26).

Blessed are those who receive the Holy Spirit and follow His holy church, for His truth shall be revealed to them.
