And every time he breaks another crystal he feels more justified in thinking that this is a stupid board, these are foolish teachings. There is another kind of response - a spiritual response. They too see the problems that these truths cause for finite, fallen minds. They patiently work to solve those problems, but that is not their main response to treasures like these. Mainly they receive them as bread for their hunger and drink for their thirst and salve for their spiritual eyes and treasure for their spiritual bankruptcy.
Spiritual people feel desperate as the slaves of sin and admit that they are.
They can't do anything without the free gifts of God. So these truths fit their own self-assessment. Which is why the proud cannot receive these things. The truths just don't fit the way they see things. So admit that you are helpless this morning without the gifts of God to do everything you need to do.
