There
is a lovely saying of Martin Luther's about the reason for Bible reading:
"As we come to the cradle in order to find the baby, so we come to the
Scriptures in order to find the Christ."
Sometimes
we will find it almost a talking book as some bit comes alive and strikes us
forcibly. Sometimes we will find it more
of a picture gallery as we see what God did in other lives and learn from
that. Sometimes it will be a torch to
help us along a particularly dark part of the route. Sometimes it will be a fire to warm us,
sometimes a hammer to break down our proud independence. Sometimes it will be a meal to feed us
spiritually. Neglect this book and you
will remain small. Feed on it and you
will grow.
