You said "Jesus wants us to know the answers. He wants us to go learn the answers, and how they apply to us in more than one type of situation. In so doing He wants us to know Him more."
Indeed, and the way he set it up was for the Holy Spirit, which is the power of God, to guide us to understand his words:
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (John 16:12-15)
When, as a specialist hired as a CEO participating in the successful 'turn-around' of four different businesses 'along the way', I would hit the road with those who called on the customers. My main goal was to teach them how to listen - as in hear and understand - and quash the muscle reflexes in conversation.
