Witness

"His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, and you don't have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me." ~John 5:37-39

I don't think it's a coincidence that this sort of passage can appear in the book of John. The book that starts off by saying Jesus is the Word. Following the Scriptures is not what saves us, no matter what the Pharisee's thought. Jesus is what saves us. The Scriptures are all about Him. He's all over the Bible. If you read it you see it.

I just can't stop marveling at how amazing Jesus is! Reading His word in this way - you know actually reading and comprehending the words - it's so much better! I've read the Bible 3 times cover to cover, and this is my 4th time through. I guess 4th time is the charm in this case? Either way you slice it, the person I am right now is getting so much out of this experience. I've never read those verses above - and I mean really read them. There are 2 levels of reading (and as  a reading teacher I am, of course, an expert -haha): visually and mentally. You can either read with just your eyes and only see the words. Or you can read with your brain and actually understand what you just looked at.

I am mentally devouring God's Word and loving every morsel!
