Jesus
said:
“people
need more than bread for their life;
They
must feed on every word of God” Matthew
4
The
question arises – how available are Bibles, the Word of God?
Where
in my city, your town, any village would you obtain a Bible?? Take a walk through
the churches – are any available there?
An odd book shop could have some. The library may have a couple. The
rare Bible bookshop is often hard to find. Some schools have class sets.
But if you were born into a non-Christian
family, where would you go to receive a Bible freely without interrogation??
Perhaps the most accessible is on the
internet – but rather confusing if you know nothing about versions etc
A
whole Bible is a large , daunting book. That is just where the Holy Spirit delights
to step in and make it meaningful. For some readers the narrative of human
rebellion and God reaching out to many peoples is understood. But for many it
is the Holy Spirit making the great and precious promises apply to the many
situations of humans.
Often it is a particular verse that convicts,
converts and consoles the sincere reader. ( like John 3:16) To be alone with
God and His word is best. Sometimes explanations and study guides can help.
“For the Word of God is full of living
power. It cuts deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for
what we really are.” Hebrews 4
The
Lord Jesus said:
“
For the Scriptures say “ you must worship the Lord your God and serve HIM only”” Matthew 4
Explanation
hardly needed – obedience required!
So dear Christian reader, have you tried making this precious volume available to others? Many are seeking! Last weekend we gave away
25 at the local market.
If
my reader does not have a Bible, I have some to spare – send me a request and I
will try to get one to you.
