Did apostles know everything that Jesus taught? No! They gradually understood that their understanding was to be corrected as they moved through various circumstances. They knew that Jesus was guiding them, though not fully knowing what all those things meant. They taught and they lived what they understood. They were understanding gradually. There is a foundation, but it was being built gradually further. Have we understood Jesus, or the apostles? Some of us claim that we do, even more than them. Can we close God to what they understood, and say that we are sure what Jesus said, and still says? Should our interpretations not be open for new light? Understanding Jesus' words receives its impetus from the Holy Spirit that cries out with deep sighs in cultural changes, new trends, pains and tragedies, and innovations and strengths and new capabilities. Thus the understanding speaks the words of touching and completing those groanings.
