came across the incredible claims of Jesus in John 5. check out verse 39: "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me..."
the Scriptures bear witness to Jesus.
now that thought may seem extremely elementary to some, but it hit me this morning. i love to study, and i love to read the Word of God...but through studying and reading i should be growing in my love for Jesus most of all. that's the point of reading and studying. to know and love Jesus.
not just to study the Bible for the sake of studying. or checking it off a to-do list. or for the purpose of feeling more spiritual because of the discipline.
no, i want to know Christ. and i want to love Him more today as i read the Scriptures that bear witness to Him and who He truly is.
