Jesus IS the Word! Reading the Bible is reading Jesus. We have the privilege of being able to read Jesus whenever we want. How foolish it would be to ignore such a grand opportunity. Thank you, Lord, for giving us the Word, which is "quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
