The Scriptures were important to Jesus, but He looked at them differently than the religious leaders of His day. To Him, “You shall not murder” was on the level of being “angry with a brother without a cause”. Far from customizing Scripture, He was concerned about the motivation of people’s hearts in applying all of it. As we embrace God’s Word more fully, we’ll know Him more deeply and desire to honor Him. Lord, I don’t want to treat Your Word lightly or to dismiss what seems too difficult. Show me my heart and help me to obey from the heart whatever You tell me. In Jesus’ name, amen. I say to you today my Christian brothers and sisters, When you open your Bible, ask the Author to open your heart.
