The Greatest Book Ever Written!
I always knew in my mind that the Bible is the greatest book that man can ever read. 66 different books, written by many different authors who lived in different times and in different places, all bearing the same message of God's redemption plan for mankind--who can deny how wonderful that is? And did you know, that the Bible tops the world's bestseller list year after year? Isn't it amazing that a book that has been around for so so long is still on the top of the bestseller list? Just another fun fact: The Bible has been translated into over 2000 languages. Wow!
After many years of being a Christian, these were just facts that I knew which did not really leave me in awe of how God inspired the writing of such a book. BUT... now that I've gotten a fresh perspective of things, it is different! I was struck with the wonder of the greatness of the Bible this week on a bus ride home, while I was thinking about having to read the whole of Genesis as a homework for a Bible study class that I am currently attending.
Well..it suddenly dawned upon me that the Bible really is the greatest book of all time, simply because it tells the most complete story in the whole wide world! It starts from the very beginning (see Gen 1:1)and it ends right at the end where Jesus comes again. Which other book does that? What other book has the past, present and future all contained? hee~
Go read your Bible today and join many many others in reading the greatest book of all time from cover to cover!
