liv. Men skrifterne peger på mig, og alligevel kommer I ikke til mig for at

    <para>Hovedformålet for bogen er at bringe os til Personen. Martin Luther sagde
<quote>vi går kun til vuggen for barnets skyld</quote>; sådan er det også
med bibelstudie, vi gør det ikke bare for at studere Bibelen, men for at
have fællesskab med Gud.</para>

      <para>The Jews to whom Jesus spoke [...] imagined that to possess Scripture was
tantamount to possessing life. Hillel used to say, "He who has gotten to
himself words of Torah has gotten to himself the life of the world to come."
Their study was an end in itself. In this they were grievously
deceived. [...]</para>
      <para>Der er hverken fortjeneste eller gavn af at læse Skriften for dens egen
skyld, men kun hvis den effektivt introducerer os til Jesus Kristus. Hver
gang Bibelen bliver læst, så er der brug for en ivrig forventning til at vi
må møde Kristus.</para>

ham.</quote></para>
      <para>The Navigators illustrate this by saying that as the thumb can touch all the
fingers, we can meditate on the Word as we do any of the first
four. Meditation is a key to revelation. A new Christian needs to hear and
read the Bible more than they need to study and memorize it. This is so that
they become familiar with the overall message of the Bible.</para>
