What is your Bible reading routine? Of course I’m assuming you have one!
I use a plan on my Bible App. Usually, I pick one that takes me on a journey through all the books of the Bible. Most days I stay on track, but there are days here and there when I fall behind. Today is one of those days that I was able to get my reading done as planned. It was day one of the gospel according to John. As I read the first five verses of Chapter 1, I observed a few things that I hadn’t noticed before. And that’s what I’d like to share with you today . . .
What caught my attention from these verses is the description of Jesus. We are told that . . .
- He is the Word.
- He is with God.
- He is God.
- He is uncreated.
- He is the Creator.
- He is life.
- He is light.
Which made me ask myself – when we are told Jesus is the Word, does this mean that whenever I read any part of the Bible (which is God’s Word), I am reading about Jesus? Or getting to know Him? And conversely, when I don’t read the Bible, am I denying myself an opportunity to deepen my relationship with my Saviour?
What do you think?
