Finding Jesus When You Read The Bible
Finding Jesus When You Read The Bible

We we study the Bible we are missing the point if we miss Jesus. Search for our Savior as you study the Bible and your Bible study time will be fruitful. Sometimes it will be obvious and other times it will require more work to find Him - but it is always worth the search! As I study the Scriptures I've seen the reality of the following poem about finding Jesus in the Word:

Wherever I chance to look,

He's the theme of the Bible;

The center and heart of the Book.

He's the Rose of Sharon,

He's the Lily fair;

Wherever I open my Bible,

The Lord of the Book is there.

He, at the Book's beginning

Gave the earth its form;

He is the ark of shelter,

Bearing the brunt of the storm.

He is the burning bush of the desert,

The budding of Aaron's rod;

Wherever I look in the Bible,

I see the Son of God.

The ram upon Mount Moriah,

The ladder from Earth to sky,

The scarlet cord in the window,

And the serpent lifted high.

The smitten rock in the desert,

The Shepherd with staff and crook;

The face of my Lord I discover,

Wherever I open the Book.

He is the seed of the woman,

The Savior, virgin born.

He is the Son of David,

Whom men rejected with scorn.

His garments of grace and of beauty,

The stately Aaron deck;

Yet He is a priest forever,

For He is Melchizedek.

Lord of eternal glory,

Whom John the Apostle saw;

Light of the golden city,

Lamb without spot or flaw.

Bridegroom coming at midnight,

For whom the virgins look;

Wherever I open my Bible,

I find my Lord in the Book.
