We cannot understand the Bible by forcing the lock; what we want is the key. But if you have Christ, you already have the key. In faith apply Christ to the Bible, and you can understand it. It is not a question of a superior mind or of great learning, for the most learned have been the most foolish in their mistakes. The simple man who understands only his mother tongue understands the Bible, if he with true simplicity submits himself to the Lord and has confidence in His love. [33]
