“My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:2
Throughout the day, in countless locations, The Bible is read by millions of people. And for every person who opens its pages, one thing is always true. It points to the joy of a relationship with Jesus Christ and the timeless wisdom found in God. The Bible has been written to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. It offers insight, encouragement, hope, and joy to souls daily, it is a blessing in life. The preaching of the cross may be foolishness to the world, but to those who are saved it is the power of God. No wonder Charles Wesley declared in his anthem of praise, “Amazing love, how can it be, that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me!” It is that powerful cross and the love displayed there that moves heart from death to life. There is an odd saying, “The ground is always level at the foot of the cross.” It was in the first century, and it still is today. The foot of the cross is where paupers and princes, well-knowns and unknowns, generals and centurions, find level ground to kneel and embrace the Christ who died for them-and for us. The men and women who witness and trial, crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Christ saw more than words can ever express. But what they saw in their lifetime, we have seen in the Scriptures. The book of Romans explains it this way: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (10:17). If we have heard and believed, it mustn’t end there. We must burn with passion to know Him- passion of the apostle Paul, who wrote that his life’s goal was “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to His death” (Phil. 3:10). May that desire burn in our hearts as well, that we might truly know the One who gave Himself for us.
“Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary; who is so great a God as our God?” Psalm 77:13
