YOUR DAILY BIBLE VERSE FOR 22 APRIL 2022, FRIDAY
Is Your Bible Study Self-Centered? By Lisa Appelo
Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. – John 17:3
Who is God?
What is He like? What does He do and what pleases Him? What is His order of things and what does He require?
So often we come to our Bible devotions pretty self-centered.
Answer me. Encourage me. Teach me. Help me.
When all along God has given us His Word as a stunning revelation of Who He is.
Yes, God will meet and teach us and encourage us, but there is something far greater: when we open our Bibles, we worship the One who fashioned the galaxy, who is infinitely beyond this galaxy and yet makes Himself known to us.
We read our Bible to know Who God is, what He does and how we can align our lives to Him.
When Jesus pierced time to dwell on earth, he came to a religious people who knew about him, but didn’t know him. The Jewish elite could keep the law like nobody’s business but they could not comprehend a God above the law.
Their tight little boxes of Who God is did not fit cleanly around Jesus.
They constantly challenged him:
How can you say you forgive sins?
Why do you eat with sinners?
Why don’t your disciples fast like our disciples?
Why are your disciples picking grain on the Sabbath?
How dare you break the Sabbath by healing on it?!
