Jordan’s idea

-
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, . . . for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16

One spring day, Jordan began asking questions about Jesus’ resurrection as his mom was taking him to preschool. Realizing he thought Jesus was rising from the dead for the first time this Easter, she tried to correct him. She pulled the car over and told him all about Jesus’ death and resurrection. She concluded, "Jesus rose from the dead a long time ago, and now He wants to live in our hearts." But Jordan still didn’t understand.

Unsure how she could make it any clearer, she said, "How about if we stop by the bookstore? I saw some books about Easter when I was there last week. We’ll get one and read through it together." With a wisdom beyond his years, Jordan responded, "Can’t we just read the Bible?"

Jordan’s idea was right. Commentaries and books about the Bible are helpful tools. But they should never be used as a substitute for God’s revelation of Himself – His Word. No other book has been given to us "by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. 3:16). As author Eugene Peterson says, "God’s voice [is] speaking to us, inviting, promising, blessing, confronting, commanding, healing."

Let’s follow Jordan’s idea and go first to the ultimate source of truth – the Bible. – Anne Cetas
