Scripture Meditation No. 1694
AATHAVAN – Saturday, 27.09.2025
“To whom would He
teach knowledge, And to whom would He interpret the message? Those just weaned
from milk, Those just taken from the breast.” (Isaiah 28:9)
Today’s meditation
verse explains to whom God gives the knowledge of knowing Him. Generally, many
think that studying in theological colleges is the way to know God. Therefore,
in many churches, theologically trained people are appointed as priests and preachers.
But theological education has nothing to do with the knowledge of God. To truly
know God in our lives, we must have the heart of a little child. That is
exactly what today’s verse says: “To whom would He teach knowledge, And to
whom would He interpret the message? Those just weaned from milk, Those just
taken from the breast.”
In the Gospel of
John, we read about Nicodemus, a teacher. He knew that Jesus came from God. He
also understood that unless God is with someone, he could not perform such
miracles as Jesus did. That is why he came to Jesus and said: “Rabbi, we
know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs
that You do unless God is with him.” (John 3:2)
Yet, in his personal
life, he did not know God; even though he was a teacher of Israel, he did not
know God! That is why Jesus asked him: “Are you the teacher of Israel, and
yet you do not understand these things?” (John 3:10). Not only that, Jesus
also said to him: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born again
he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3).
Yes, if we want to
become heirs of the kingdom of God, it is not enough to say like Nicodemus,
“Jesus is Lord, the Son of God.” We must be born again; we must become like
children.
For those who have
this experience of being born again, the Scriptures give new meanings and fresh
revelations. Yes, to them God teaches knowledge and makes them understand His
instruction. That is why Jesus referred to such people as little children.
Furthermore, it is written: “At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the
Holy Spirit, and said, ‘I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that
You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed
them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well pleasing in Your sight.’”
(Luke 10:21)
Having this
experience, King David said: “I have certainly soothed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child resting against his mother, My soul within me is like a
weaned child.” (Psalm 131:2).
Yes, to know God, we
need the heart of a little child. Did not Jesus Christ say: “Allow the
children to come to Me; do not forbid them, for the kingdom of God belongs to
such as these.” (Mark 10:14; Matthew 19:14)
When we receive the
experience of redemption through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ, we are
born again. No matter how grown-up we are, our mind and heart are renewed; the
old things pass away, and we become new. We are set free from sin and attain the
childlike heart. Therefore, let us confess our sins to Christ and seek
forgiveness, so that we may gain this experience. Then, not only will we know
God, but as little children weaned from their mother’s milk, He will teach us
knowledge and make us understand His instruction.
