As we have spent a portion of our lives “Seeking Truth” we must give credit where credit is due; the Bible. In the Bible we find a reemerging figure reveal Himself over and over. That figure is Jesus Christ himself. As we study the claims of the man Jesus, we quickly realize something. Jesus proclaimed several times that He is the one that has been talked about throughout the Old Testament writings. What an incredible and bold announcement…I’m the One! Easy to proclaim, hard to back up. Mark 2 shines a wonderful light on Jesus as He asked the question, “Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise take up your bed and walk’? Of course talk can be cheap IF it’s not backed up. Check for yourself, Jesus’ actions show us that His talk is never cheap.
Thank you Lord as we search for truth, we readily find it in the pages of Scripture. No wonder those who hate You want to destroy Your Word. Therefore we will draw even closer to Your Scripture. Thank you for Your gift of life!
