I read a comic in a
church bulletin that had two young people
talking to each other. One made the
comment, "You know, I'm beginning to
unravel the mysteries of the Old
Testament--I've started reading it."
The humor is obvious, but there is no
humor in the fact that so many of our
brethren know so very little about the
Bible. Many feel it is just too difficult
to understand, but they never try reading
it.
In Nehemiah 8:8 we are
told, "So they read in the book,
in the law of God, distinctly, and gave
the sense, and caused them to understand
the reading." Understanding of
the word of God is no different for us.
We must "read in the book"
before we can begin to understand.
No one would expect to
master any discipline without first
studying in that field. Likewise, to
understand the Bible, we must dig into
it's depths. Dig deep, for therein one
will find great, eternal treasures.
