Luke 11:52

The knowledge of God is not found in man’s rules it is spiritually discerned through the Holy Spirit. The letter of the law kills but Jesus gives abundant life. Remember no one is worthy of God’s mercy and grace it is His gift and it is received by faith!

Jesus charged the lawyers with doing the opposite of what they claimed their calling to be. Rather than bringing people nearer to God, they had removed the possibility of their entering into that knowledge, and had prevented others from understanding as well.

1 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all,

Luke 11:52                                                                                           

52 “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”
