Cameron (A&M Navigators Director) and myself have been working on coming up with/writing a Bible study the past two days. And it has been a great experience. It is so amazing to get to study the Bible in such a way as to help others study the Bible. It is different than simply studying the Bible for your own benefit, you actually have to make sense of your thoughts and figure out how to get others to come to the same conclusion. It is also different than simply teaching, b/c you need to cultivate an answer, not just give them one.
We spent most of today looking up cross references in the Old Testament and designing questions. You wanna know what I learned? The Old Testament is so awesome! And Jesus mentions it a lot more than us Gentile Americans (and Lebanese) realize. AND it references Jesus more than we realize as well. Read John 10, about the Good Shepherd, then go and read Ezekiel 34. Then come back and tell me how far away your socks were blown off to. :)
Jesus is simply amazing. And I am slowly realizing that the more we learn and desire to learn about him, the more in awe we become. And more we realize that we know him so little. Keep seeking the Lord and he WILL reveal himself to you (it's a promise).
