Often there is a large difference between mental interpretations of scripture, and spiritual revelations of truth and reality.

The Differences

Mental interpretations almost always make Jesus Christ smaller than He actually is and is intended to be.

Smaller, less significant than, and less involved in our situations and our circumstances.

We figure out by study, mental interpretations. They are the result of intellect, the frontal lobe of the brain. But we come to understand from within the heart, or from a spiritual brother or sister explaining a spiritual revelation. Spiritual revelation must bubble up from the heart if they ever are to be useful to us or to others. Even Jesus could not access more than the brain of his disciples. When Peter acknowledged Jesus as the Christ. Jesus responded that it was “my father who revealed this to you …not flesh and blood” (which included Jesus at that time).
