This epic Bible study has come full-circle. I am surprised at how quickly 24 weeks have
passed. This final hour was an overview
of the entire study and showcased a handful of concepts that were introduced
throughout the 24 hours. Of particular
interest to me was the reiteration of the “History of the English Bible”. My curiosity was ignited to do more research
in this area after a co-worker (seemingly out of the blue) asked me about the
best translation of the Bible and the chart from the study notes popped into my
head, but I realized that I couldn’t explain it. I suppose that means I didn’t really learn
the material.
I took it as a hint from the Lord that He had something to
teach me on this subject, so I did my research and felt sad that the NIV that
I’ve loved since I first became a Christian over 30 years ago was derived from
corrupted sources. Then Jesus turned the
light on. He’s been teaching me from
that text for over 30 years IN SPITE OF ITS CORRUPTED SOURCE! Hallelujah!
God truly is powerful.
Dr. Missler concludes this hour with a beautiful view of our
Savior, Jesus, inspired by Pastor S.D. Lockridge. I am so glad that the text of this reading
was included in the supplemental notes for the study. Whenever I get too cocky and forget how
majestic my Lord is, all I have to do is read these words and true perspective
will be restored.
Our study group plans to take a short (two week) break and
jump right back in with Dr. Missler’s 24-Hour study on the book of Revelation. I cannot wait! I’m planning to use the KJV during this study
just to see if it will improve my vocabulary and how God will speak through it.
No more homework.
We’ve completed another study!
Hallelujah! Next week, we will
begin discussing Kelly Minter’s study on Nehemiah. It is a life-changer. Don’t miss it!
