The first generation of Jesus-followers passionately scoured the Hebrew scriptures, not looking for rules to regulate their lives and the lives of everyone around them, but for all the signs of Jesus they could find.
They were trying to find Jesus in the scriptures.
When we go to the scriptures, what are we looking for?
Rules to impose on others–and maybe ourselves if it’s convenient?
God?
I suggest the best use of our time and energy searching through the Bible lies in discovering God and Jesus and the Spirit. Open the words and hear God speak to you.
