This is my bible. . .

I had a Sunday School Teacher once who every Sunday made her class hold up their bible and repeat after her:

"This is my bible, the inspired living word of God."

And then she would teach us God's word in Spirit and Truth. You could not come away from her lessons the same person you were when you walked in the door. She taught with such passion it was obvious that she had walked with our Lord that week. Her passion was definitely contagious in my life. When I sat under her teaching I realized that I wanted what she had. I desired to know Him the way that she did. And her influence changed my life forever. I will never be the same. My bible is my most prize possession. God's word really is alive and active. You cannot sincerely seek to know Him through His word and not be changed.

During a recent Tuesday Night Bible Study that I attend we all sat and talked about how the Bible tells us about Jesus from beginning to end. From Genesis to Revelation. What was for told in the Old Testament came true in the New Testament. And what has not yet come true will be because what God says. . .God will do! He is a God of promise and cannot break His word to us. Cut the Scriptures anywhere and they bleed with the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
