A Movie Experience
January 11th, 2009I used to think I knew a lot about history. I never thought I was an expert just that I knew stuff. In recent years some of the movies that have come out have been based on true events that I never had heard of. The Great Raid a few years ago was one of these. Valkyrie and Defiance this year are more. Now I don’t feel so enlightened but have enjoyed learning new, motivational stories of sacrifice and patriotism.
This reminds me of my Bible knowledge. For many years I thought I knew a lot of Bible. I never thought I was an expert just that I knew stuff. Fortunately I have not stopped studying. I learn new, motivational things regularly. These things are truths about the sacrifice and encouragement of God.
Maybe this is one of the reasons the Bible is called, “living” (Hebrews 4:12). Maybe this is one of the reasons we “search the scriptures” (John 5:39). Many subjects can be “conquered.” Not the Bible. We can live a lifetime of study and never master it. The word of God is an amazing and challenging gift.
