Jesus said, "Search the scriptures for in them you hope to find eternal life, but these speak of me, so why not come to me and live?" He didn't say, keep reading, he didn't say stop reading, but he did say, why not come Me (ie, directly) |
the word = the word of god. that verse means that the bible is legit-god-inspired.
jesus=person
for liking god so much you have a pretty pessimistic view of the the bible. i often hear it called the Living Word.
