Do you like to read?  I do and I know you probably like to also, most people do.  Also do you occasionally overhear a conversation about the latest best selling author’s current work?  Notice the adjective, current.  An author as well as anyone else’s fame is fleeting and only a few great names such as Shakespeare or Milton are generally known.The Greatest Author wrote the Greatest Book ever written. Sadly many have never read His book or even picked it up for a cursory examination.  In that book lie the secrets to mankind’s beginning, present and future. It describes the path from here to eternity.  Isn’t that exciting?  The Bible is the “code” from the Master of the Universe for a better life here and a far better one to come.

Can you imagine stumbling upon a great treasure of an ancient king?  And yet, here at our fingertips is a priceless gem, far more valuable than the riches of any king who ever lived. And it can be bought for a small price.  My favorite Bible is one I bought at a garage sale for twenty-five cents. Think of that! The priceless Word of God for twenty-five cents! You may have a favorite copy of the road map to Paradise, I pray so, and perhaps you paid more than twenty five cents for it. Whatever you paid, read it, love it, live it.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
