Need to know
It's interesting what you find if you regularly read the Bible. That's the point of this blog, after all.
Take a young missionary, for example. We'll call him Beau. Beau was diligently reading the New Testament in 1 John (not the Gospel of John). And he found a beautifully simple and direct testimony of Jesus in Chapter 5.
Here's a sample:
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
And it goes on like that until the last verse, which, though good advice, seems almost an afterthought:
1 John 5:21
"Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen."
Next to this verse, Beau made a small note in the margin. This is what it said:
"What the crap?"
Thanks to Beau O.
