Jesus and the Word of God
“He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.”
Revelation 19:13

Ponder This
Have you ever considered the similarities between Jesus and the Bible? Both have come from God. The Scriptures have come from God, and the Bible says in Galatians 4:4 that “God sent forth His Son.” The Scriptures will last forever. First Peter 1:25 says, “The Word of the LORD endures forever.” And Jesus endures forever. In Revelation 1:18, Jesus says, “I am alive forevermore. Amen.” Both are unchanging. Jesus said in Matthew 5:18, “one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.” And Jesus was described in Hebrews 13:8 as the One who changes not: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Both Jesus and the Bible are lights in a dark world. Jesus said in John 8:12, “I am the light of the world.” And the Bible says of itself in Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” John 17:17 says that the Bible is truth. Jesus said, “Your word is truth,” but in John 14:6, Jesus also said, “I am … the truth.”
If you believe in Jesus, you have to believe in the Bible. If you believe in the Bible, you have to believe in Jesus. You cannot separate the two.

FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
