For
me, when I read The Holy Bible, God reveals what He wants me to know or learn, at
that time, from that particular Book or Chapter or Verse. If each of Us
(Believers),
sat down, and read from
The Holy Bible, the same Book or Chapter or Verse, He would not reveal the same
thing, to any two of Us.
(I’m not talking
about the written words, I’m talking about what God reveals to YOU, in your
heart, Spirit and Soul). We each are on
different "paths" (i.e. different Walks in Our Christian Life). We are individuals, that God will use, His Specific
Way. We are not "cookie cut"
Believers. Maturity in Christ, is an Individual Walk. The Holy Bible
tells Us, so much and while reading it, God speaks to Us, telling Us, what He
wants Us to know or learn, at that moment. Also, Jesus speaks to Us, and works
with Us, through The Holy Spirit, if We simply are willing to listen. This also means, that We can read a
particular Book or Chapter or Verse, Today, and God will reveal to Us, what He
wants Us to know, at that moment. Then
six weeks or six months later, We can again read that particular Book or
Chapter or Verse, and this time, He would reveal to Us, something different
(what He wants Us to know, at that moment).
This is why, We should read and reread The Holy Bible. Have YOU ever sat down with The Holy Bible,
and started reading a Book or Chapter or Verse, and had a “ah ha” moment? Thinking “oh, that’s what it means”. That’s what God and Jesus, Love to hear, from
YOU. What do YOU think a “Bible
Commentary” is? Well the
definition of a “commentary” is: a set of explanatory or critical notes on a
text. Which basically means, someone
read a particular Book or Chapter or Verse, of The Holy Bible, and God revealed
to that person, what He wanted, that person, to know, at that particular time. Then that person, wrote down (put into
words), precisely what God wanted, that person, to know at that time. Does this mean that Bible Commentaries are
not useful, of course not, it may give the reader, an idea of what is
meant. However, that reader should, in
turn, read the Book or Chapter or Verse, for themselves, and see what God reveals
to them, Himself. God reveals more to
YOU, as a Believer, Child of God, than YOU may ever know or understand, but it
sure is exhilarating, when YOU have your Spiritual Eyes opened by Him.
