Some months ago we saw a documentary about Mahatma Gandhi when something the narrator said jumped out at me: Gandhi, he said, would tell his fellow Hindus, "Unless you study reverentially all the teachings of Jesus, your life will be incomplete."
So powerful are these teachings, I couldn't help thinking about the lives of those Indians who were transformed as something Jesus said took roots in their thought.
My life would certainly not be complete without God's Word. Life would be lacking joy and peace, and a sense of divine power with which to overcome difficulties that arise. How have these heavenly sayings impacted my life for good? How have they not been an influence for good?
If you have not done so, get a Bible with Christ's words marked in red and begin a thoughtful reading. You cannot imagine the wonderful things that will happen in your life.
