John 5: 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
The Scriptures bear testimony of him through the mouths of prophets and apostles and through the words of the Savior himself. We cannot find him if we do not look for him in all the right p laces. There is no substitute for the real thing. Lessons or commentaries are intended only to supplement what we have already found in our search, not t o replace it. That would be like reading only the headlines in the newspaper without perusing the full content and context of the accompanying article. As we prayerfully search the Scriptures, they become a familiar voice, a pleasing melody we want to hear often.
