Do you read your Bible regularly? If you do then good because it is the greatest book ever written. But do you spend enough time to let God’s word sink deep into your heart, mind and soul? If you do, you will soon see that the Bible is God’s treasure map. And the treasure is getting to know God for yourself.

This week in our series ‘The Unveiling’ we meet Jesus the revolutionary. In Luke 22:52, Jesus himself asked the question of the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?”‘ So what is so revolutionary about Jesus? It was probably that he told us to ‘Love our enemies’.

“This lost world will never be reached and brought back to loyalty to God, until the children of God wake up to the fact that they have a mission in the world. If we are true Christians we should all be missionaries” (D L Moody).

This week, as you read your Bible, perhaps you should think about this quote by Saint Augustine [who became the first Archbishop of Canterbury in AD597]: “The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.”

This week try to remember who invited you to go to church in the first place. What would have happened if they hadn’t asked you? Pause for a few minutes and then ask yourself Is there someone you should be inviting to church this week? If so then why not ask them?
