Let's pray.

Lord, the reason we pray is because we need supernatural help to do anything of lasting value here.

And so I ask for help for the hearers and for me. I pray that you would fill me with spiritual wisdom and

understanding and I pray that you would dig an ear for them

they might have ever experienced before.

Then they might have ever experienced before.

We want to see gold and silver and precious stones and we want to taste honey and be satisfied

in our souls with supernatural reality.

So come and do these impossible things.

I pray in Jesus' name.

Amen.

So one of the most illuminating facts to shed light on what I mean by reading the Bible

supernaturally is the fact that Jesus didn't think the Pharisees could read.

At least he didn't think they could read their Old Testament in a way

that gets out of it what the authors intended for people to get out of it.

But that's what reading is,

getting out of a book,

what authors intend for you to get out. That's what reading is, at least

handling those words the way the Bible intends for them to be handled.

And we'll see how unique the Bible is as we go along.

Reading a God-breathed Bible does not mean looking at the words and thinking your own thoughts.
