John 6:35 (NKJV) 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
As believers it’s important that we understand that some things in God’s word deal with the natural man and the natural world, while others speak specifically of the spiritual man and the spiritual world.
This is what caused so many people to scoff at Jesus when He spoke, because they were so spiritually dull that they couldn’t see that He spoke symbolically and from a spiritual point of view, not just of natural things.
This caused many to think that He was way off with some of the things He said. Many accused Him of being crazy simply because they didn’t have the spiritual discernment to know that He spoke spiritually, not just naturally.
As we read and spend time in His word, it’s also important for us to have that same understanding and discernment. We need to know when God is speaking of the natural and when He is referring to the spiritual.
Luke 12:56 (NKJV) 56 Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?
As we get this kind of understanding, we will begin to see and understand more and more of what His word is really saying. Our grasp of spiritual things will grow and develop, and we will become more and more mature as believers.
