The Utility of Truth not Understood
Mark 9:30-32
And they departed there, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.…


It is not to no purpose, to speak things that are not immediately understood. Seed, though it lies in the ground awhile unseen, is not lost or thrown away, but will bring forth fruit. If you confine your teacher, you hinder your learning; if you limit his discourses to your present apprehensions, how shall he raise your understandings? If he accommodate all things to your present weakness, you will never be the wiser, than you are now; you will be always in swaddling clothes.

(Dr. Whichcote.)
