How Do You Read It - Luke 10:25-26

Luke 10:25-26 ESV 


And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?”


Scripture is written so that we might hear from God. Reading the word seems to say different things to different people at different times. The seed is the same, but the soil and weather varies from one location to another. The resulting plants may look a little different in size and shape although they are in the same harvest in the field of the one who sows. It's not what is on the outside that always reveals a man or woman. That is why God judges us on the inside. 


It is up to each one of us to interpret this life that surrounds us. What we see and hear is experienced by each one of us. The question remains the same, "how do you read it."
