A Lack Of Knowledge For The Scripture

Text: John 20: 9 - 10

A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE SCRIPTURE

There was faith in the heart of John when he entered into the empty tomb of Jesus. But there was still a lack of full comprehension of the significance of the empty tomb.

“For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.” 

John 20:9-10

1. “For as yet they did not know the Scripture”

a. The Lord Jesus had taught them the Scripture.

b. He had repeated Himself concerning His rising from the dead time and again.

c. But they had not comprehended what the Scripture had meant.

2. The problems that hindered their comprehension of the Scriptures

The following may have contributed to the problem:

a. Their little faith.

b. Their over-wrought emotions.

c. Their lack of spiritual maturity.

d. Their unbelief.

e. Their hardness of heart.

f. Their lack of ability to fully comprehend the power of the Word.

g. They did not have great depth of knowledge of the Scripture.

h. Their skill of understanding Scripture had not been sharpened fully yet.

3. “That He must rise again from the dead”
