A nearby neighborhood shop recently featured a window display of books,
each covered in a brown-paper wrapper with a short comment written on it.
However, the synopsis written on the Bible was disturbing, simply saying
“Religious Viewpoint” and “Violence.”
Today, this is an increasingly popular view in categorizing the 'bible'
(often written with a small 'b')
as a book from a dark, past time in human history that has no place in this modern, enlightened age.
If this is your way of thinking, you’d be well advised to take another look,
because actually the exact opposite truth about the Bible is that this is the ultimate,
amazing, life-saving story given to redeem the world and everyone in it
from Rebellion to Restoration with God.
Unlike the other books in this window, this
- The Greatest Of All Books - tells a story far deeper and
more important than any other. Not only is it a mistake to dismiss it
as the false views of ages past, it is even a bigger mistake to mock and
dismiss it as just one of many misguided “Religious Viewpoints.”
Friend, please do not dismiss or mock this book or
the warning in today’s scripture!
If there is any one book in the 'bookstore window of life'
that you really need to both read and understand that can lift you from
PUNISHMENT to PROMOTION, it is This One!.
What would you write on that brown paper wrapper?
