I agree. The more we read the scriptures, the Word of God ourselves, God the Holy Spirit will give us individually understanding of what He is saying. It is good to ask the Holy Spirit to teach us, to open our eyes to understand the Word of God.
God has also anointed good Godly teachers who also help us with understanding the scriptures. We should ask the LORD to lead us to them But we are not to put them on a pedestal and idolize them! We should also ask the Holy Spirit of Truth to lead us away from false teachings that could toss us to and fro with every wind of doctrine out there. And we don’t want to be tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine.
I once heard a teacher say “the Word of God was written FOR US all. SOME of it is written to us But not all of it is written to us”. Case in point: God required animal, sacrifices, grain, offerings, peace, offerings all kinds of offerings in the Old Testament to be taken to the priest and the High Priest. That was written to the Israelite Jews. Not to us. But it is good for us to know this.
And as We all know, Jesus is not only our Great High Priest, but He is the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
Praise be to the Father. Praise be to the Son. Praise be to the Holy Spirit THREE in ONE
BLESSINGS Be upon all of us through Christ Jesus, our King of Glory
