What words come to mind when you think about the Bible?
Exciting? Mind-blowing? Life-changing? If you’re honest, probably not. Even
though we aren’t quick to admit it in church, many of us don’t feel all
that excited about reading the Bible. Maybe for you it just seems like a
history book filled with random facts about random people that don’t
really matter. Or maybe it feels more like a foreign language textbook
with lots of words and phrases that don’t make sense. Either way, it’s
hard to see how an old book written by a bunch of dead guys about
an invisible God could be relevant to anything we’re doing today. But
that was not how it was intended to be experienced. Through a letter
written to the Hebrews, we discover that the Bible is more than just
a recording of the past. If we give it a chance, God’s Word has the
power to change our present and shape our future.
