Ever wonder why you don't get answers?

I love this picture. Kids often mimic what they see adults do, but they don't always understand they why we do what we do. Most kids today know that when you pick up a phone, you're supposed to touch the screen and something is supposed to happen. They can't read, but they like to see the interaction.

The sad thing is, that there are a lot of people that are the same way with their Bible. If you hand them a Bible and ask them to explain to you what the Bible says about salvation, or who Jesus is - they may start flipping through the pages hoping to stumble across something, but honestly, it's a smaller subset of people that can truly do this.

The truth is, God wants us to know Him intimately. The scriptures reveal His plan and point to His son Jesus, the Messiah.

Shortly after Jesus rose from the dead, He met two people that were on a journey

"And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." (Luke 14:27)

As we get ready to enter into Easter, the celebration of the subsitutionary death of Jesus on the cross to redeem us from the curse of sin, let us show God our love by understanding what He is saying in the Holy Bible, and allow His words to impact our lives.
