The Importance of Understanding Truth
Isaiah 6:9-13
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear you indeed, but understand not; and see you indeed, but perceive not.…


The vast importance of people's understanding what they hear, our blessed Saviour frequently inculcated upon those who attended His ministry. He often introduced His subject by calling upon them to hear and understand: after discoursing to them He sometimes asked if they understood what they heard? He blamed them if they did not understated, and commended those who were so happy as to know the things which were freely given them of God.

(R. Macculloch.)
