Light Reflection-John 5:39-40 Scriptures
JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from John 5, verses 39 to 40.
Jesus said to His critics, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.”
Is it possible to read the Bible and miss the message? Evidently, the religious leaders in the days of Jesus were very familiar with the Scriptures of the Old Testament, but rejected Jesus as their Messiah. When we see the influence of Jesus in the Bible from the books of Genesis to Revelation, His good news of redemption comes into view.
The Bible is a lamp for spiritual transformation if we believe and obey the message that leads us to follow Jesus as Savior and Lord.
This Light Reflection inspires us to see the influence of Jesus as we study the Scriptures in the Year to Shine.
