I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, These two vessels are docked in the harbor at the same time. Although we are not sure of their journey we do know they ended up in this harbor on this day. Depending on the ship on which you travel your experience will be different. So even though vessels ended up at the same place, the journey for the passengers was surely different.
In my journey of Bible study I have used many different vessels. Recently I have learned a new way to study the Bible, a new way to see what the God is trying to tell me through his word, called Biblical Theology. The name is confusing because it seems to imply that it is the only theology that is based on the Bible and that all other theologies are not, but that is not what it means at all. Instead Biblical Theology is a way of looking at the Bible as telling one story, through various kinds of literature over many years, of how God is redeeming the world through Christ. For me it is a way to see the Bible as a whole from Genesis to Revelation that leads to Christ. It has given more purpose to my study and it has developed in me an even greater sense of awe in the amazing word of God in scriptures and the steadfast love that the Scriptures portray. I want to share a wonderful resource that I have found that provides resources that look at the Bible with a Biblical Theology perspective called the Bible Project. This free resource has many videos, podcasts, and study guides that are wonderful examples of seeing the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. Prayer Great God Thank you for so many ways of studying your word. Open the eyes or our hearts to see in your word the hope we have in Christ. Amen
