Wesley: Scripture interprets Scripture

Meditation:
Then [Jesus] opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
—Luke 24:45 (NIV)

Quotation:
In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church. And Scripture is the best expounder of Scripture. The best way, therefore, to understand it is carefully to compare Scripture with Scripture, and thereby learn the true meaning of it.
... John Wesley (1703-1791), The Works of the Rev. John Wesley, v. X, New York: J. & J. Harper, 1827, p. 52 (see the book)
See also Luke 24:45; Ps. 119:18; Rom. 15:4; 2 Cor. 3:14-18; 4:4-6; Eph. 5:13-14; 2 Tim. 3:16

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, Your word is truth.
