Answer “Him” Please!
by an Old Disciple
"Have ye not read…at the beginning? Have ye not read in the book of Moses? Or have ye not read in the law? “Have ye not read what David did?” And have ye not read this scripture? Have ye not read so much as this? Have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God?
Well, have you? Have you started at the beginning? Have you read Moses writings? Have you read anything of the Law? Have you not read anything of darling David’s experiences? Have you read any particular scriptures? Have you not even read a little? Have you not ever read what God wrote to you? These questions must be answered. And mind you, these inquiries were made to religious people, not to down and out sinners.
In my reading recently I came across this interesting statistic. The Bible can be read, at a speaking speed, in approximately eighty hours. This means it takes no more than thirteen minutes per day to read through the entire Bible in one year.
God’s Book is as relevant today as it was when spoken. For example, “Have ye not read what David did?” I believe our Lord is giving us three vital truths in this text. First, read the Old Testament. Second, He said they could apply it to their generation. And thirdly, Biblical principles are always in vogue; you need not dissect principle.
