The Word of God

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Listen from:
“BEHOLD the Book whose leaves display
JESUS the Life, the Truth, the Way;
Read it with diligence, with prayer;
Search it, and thou shalt find HIM there.”
THE Word of God is the believer’s guide. It ever directs to Christ. He is its subject and object. Our Lord said to the Jews. “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of ME” (John 5:3939Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (John 5:39)).
When risen He expounded to His disciples in all the Scriptures the things “concerning Himself,” saying,
He opened their understanding that they might understand the Scriptures.
Shall we not ask Him to do this for us, as of old David cried,
“Open Thou mine eves that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law” Ps. 119:18.
