CHRIST in ALL the SCRIPTURES: “He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself” (Lk 24:27). “I never saw a useful Christian who was not a student of the Bible. If a person neglects the Bible, there is not much for the Holy Spirit to work with. We must have the Word,” said D.L. Moody. “Apply yourself wholly to the Scripture,” wrote Johann Bengel, renowned for his Greek translation of the New Testament, “and apply the Scriptures wholly to yourself.” And Dr. Samuel Zwemer, known as “The Apostle to Islam,” warned that, when you are preparing to study the Bible, “on the threshold of your task you will find a host of lurking demons to lure you away from it.” You cannot rightly search the Scriptures without finding Christ. He Himself said, “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me” (Jn 5:39). And you cannot find Christ without finding joy, peace, love, truth, life itself!
