[Mark 7:13]; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Revelation is a weight in the spirit. It is a substance a man must carry if the scales should be tipped in his favour because as redemptive power, it carries dunamis; an anointing by which men are redeemed.
When we speak of tradition, it is more than the monumentalization of past experiences but more distinctively, it is the lack of revelation.
By tradition, men partake Holy Communion without the revelation of the breaking of the body. By tradition, they recite the Lord's Prayer and ask for daily bread forgetting that they carry the bread of life. By tradition, they carry crosses for miles on end without identifying with the testimony of self denial in a true walk with Christ.
But as a church, we have been called to depth not because it is a place of commendation but rather by reason of the callings of deep unto deep. What it means is that by divine requirement, the church ought not to scratch surfaces in the interpretation and understanding of the scriptures.
When we grow in this mind, we will realise that the greatest simplicities of the gospel are in the depths of revelation and that what has made the gospel complex is the superficial interpretation we give to scripture.
Scripture Reference
Psalms 42:7, 2 Corinthians 11:3
The greatest simplicities of the gospel are in the depths of revelation. What has made the gospel complex is the superficial interpretation we give to scripture.
