“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”— John 5:39 (KJV)
Our Lord Jesus did not say, search your feelings, nor search the traditions of men — He said, search the scriptures. This is the great charter of the Christian’s daily duty. The Word of God is not a museum piece to be admired from a distance but a living testimony to be searched with diligent, believing hands.
Notice what Christ says the scriptures do — they testify of Him. Every page, every promise, every type and shadow, every law and prophecy points its trembling finger toward the Lord Jesus Christ. To read your Bible and not find Christ is to walk through a garden and miss the Rose of Sharon altogether.
The Puritans called this Scripture meditation — not a casual skim, but a reverent, hungry mining of the Word. John Bunyan said he would rather be poor and know his Bible than be rich and be a stranger to it. Dear friend, open your Bible today not merely as a religious exercise, but as one who presses through the crowd just to touch the hem of His garment — for the scriptures will always bring you to Jesus.
