It is written that man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every Word of God..
Luke 4:4
We were flying at about 40,000 feet.
I had just started reading and I noticed that the bearded youth beside me was
reading along with me. His interest in my book amused me but I said nothing.
Finally he said, “What are you reading?” I replied, “It is a commentary on the
Book of Revelation. A Book almost 2, 000 years old, but as relevant as your
newspapers. In it, God tells us of the future and what is going to happen. It
is like history pre-recorded.”
For centuries, the Bible has been a
trustworthy record of God meeting the needs of men and women. The question that
is in the minds of many is this, “How do I know that the Bible is not just
another Book?”
Let me share with you one thought –
the Bible endures the passing of the centuries as no other book ever written.
There are more than 13,000 manuscripts in existence today containing all or
part of the Bible.
On many occasions, men have decided
to put away the Bible once and for all. King Jehoiakim tried to burn the
manuscripts. In 303 A.D., the Roman emperor Diocletian ordered every Bible to
be burned in the Roman empire but 10 years later he died and his successor
Constantine made Christianity the faith of the empire. In the Middle Ages, the
institutional Church attempted to keep the Bible from the common man. Agnostics
and infidels railed against, but yet it stands.
No other book every written makes the
claim that it will endure always but the Bible says, “The Word of the Lord
endureth forever.” (Isaiah 40:8).
God Bless YOU..
