| The Fullness of Scripture |
| “And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which He spake by Elijah” (1 Kings 17:16). |
| In this, the barrel of meal and the cruse were like the Word of God in the power of the Spirit, whether we think of the Bible as a whole, or any separate passage or text. No matter how often we may have read it, or how many talks we may have heard from its pages, there is always more to be discovered, as we ponder it again under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. |
| Evangelist Henry Gibbud (1857-1901), of New York, used to tell the story of the uncouth lad who attended a school in the lower east side district of that great metropolis. He was very fond of his teacher because of the kindly interest she had taken in him. One day he approached her desk after school started, holding out a very dilapidated looking orange in his grimy hand. “Here teacher,” he said, “is an orange I brought for you. It’s been squeezed some, but there’s lots left in it yet.” |
| So it is with every portion of the Bible. No one has been able to exhaust the priceless treasure it contains. There is always more to be obtained for the refreshment of the soul. |
