Hey ya'll,

I hope everyone's week is getting off to a good start.  Don't forget about our egg hunt this Saturday at 1:00.   Here are a few thoughts for today.



Jesus Trusted Scripture


The example of Jesus is an enriching study for all people, especially for Christians.  In matters of conduct, this is often considered – how is one to speak, to talk, etc.  But, there is also the example of Jesus in the way He regarded and handled the Scriptures.  This aspect of His example is considered in today’s thoughts.


Many avenues of Jesus’ regard and handling of Scripture could be studied.  He indicated “it is written” (Matthew 4:4).  He followed Scripture in resisting temptation (Matthew 4:4,6,10).  He insisted that the commandment of God must not be rejected to keep human traditions (Mark 7:9).


Jesus taught by word and example that one should trust the Scriptures as the Word of God.  The basis for this was in the fact that what the writer of Scripture said, Jesus insisted God had said.  Further, Jesus stated the “Scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35).  He indicated that when Scripture had spoken, “It must happen thus” (Matthew 26:54).



One writer has beautifully summarized the importance of trusting Scripture because of the example of Jesus: “In our Lord’s view, the whole of Scripture is one piece.  It is, in every part of it, the word of God, which comes to us as the divine truth, without any error whatsoever…  The real Jesus, the only Jesus for whom we have any evidence whatsoever, believed the Bible was true and that it is the very word of God.  He commanded His disciples to believe and obey it.  He rebuked those who disregarded it or sought to interpret away its obvious instructions…  The real issue for us today is this:  Is Jesus Christ our Lord?  Only when we have answered this question… are we prepared to answer the further question:  Is the Bible the infallible word of God, the authoritative guide for my life and thought?  And our answer to this second question is the way to become obedient and faithful and useful disciples of the Lord Christ.” (Kenneth Kantzer)
