This week, Paul wants to encourage you to approach your Bible reading, like a detective,

searching for clues that reveal the power and glory of Christ.

Here's this week's Wednesday's word.

Thank you. Wednesday's word. Last week, I encourage you to read your Bible like an archaeologist, digging slowly,

methodically and carefully through every verse and passage of scripture. Look for treasures

that connect the transforming power of

scripture to everyday life. Just one example is found at the end of John 1, when we hit an artifact

about Jacob's ladder in Genesis, which we might otherwise miss if we're quickly speeding past to get

to the familiar stories. A familiar story, like the wedding at Cana that immediately follows in the next chapter.

We all know that Jesus turns water into wine, but even in this Sunday school story are hidden

treasures that we might otherwise miss if we do not mind for them. So, I would encourage you to

read your Bible like a detective, searching for clues that solve the beautiful mysteries in God's

word. The story in John 2 ends with this statement in verse 11. Quote, searching for clues that solve the beautiful mysteries in God's Word.

The story in John 2 ends with this statement in verse 11.

Quote, this, the first of his signs Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and manifested his glory

and his disciples believed in him, end quote.
