Henry Ossawa Tanner is one of my favourite painters and that's a perfectly luminous illustration for your beautiful words. Such a simple remedy for making Scripture come alive--read it out loud, multiple times.
God's Word is so rich and layered--simple enough for a child but deep enough to dig into, read, research, wrestle with, preach about and write on for a lifetime! Young Life, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and various churches have helped me to love Bible study, especially in small groups.
As always, thank you for sharing; you are in my prayers.
Oh, Bill, this is so very beautiful. Speaking as an ordained minister who leads worship, I wish every scripture reader thought like this. I'm afraid I will have to send everyone to this piece. So eloquent and wise.
