It Is Alive..Is It Alive For You?

Today was a beautiful day in Sunday school. A missionary from Paris, Chris, spoke in our Sunday class about how he spreads God's word. There were two themes that resonated throughout the entire time he talked...Prayer and the Bible is alive. He spoke about his mother praying for him for 25 years straight that he would become a Christian. He talked about how he picked up the Bible after becoming a Christian and the Bible was alive for him. Alive...have you ever thought about the Bible being alive and real? Real stories..real people..real prayers..real miracles..real betrayals..real families.. Every time Chris was asked about how he relates the Bible to his life and to his work, he repeated over and over again that the Bible is alive and when you pick it up you can't help but see that it is alive. He spoke about his time working with Muslims and other individuals and he said that there is no way that someone can pick up the Bible and not see it as alive. He shared the story of an individual who read one parable and with God's intervening from that one parable, he became a Christian. One story..one real story..one story that is alive in the Bible. He shared about how he can be struggling with life and when he puts himself in the Word, he is alive again. Is the Bible alive for you?
