John 5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
After researching this phrase I have found that the original is... "The proof of the pudding is in the eating". Which means if you desire the flavor of the pudding and it's deliciousness, then you must eat it to find the proof.
Many are looking for truth today but come short in finding it. It is because of the source they are trying to find it in. Even in our churches many turn to books about the Bible instead of the Bible. Sacrificing our Bible reading time for commentaries, men's Bible studies, and lessons about the Bible. None of these things are bad or wrong, but they can become hindrances from your alone time with God's source (The Bible). We've reverted to watching the Christian television shows instead of reading God's Word. We've retreated to the books about Christian experiences rather than the Word of God. Please don't misunderstand me. I read commentaries, study lessons, and books of Christian topics often. But when I desire the truth of it all...the proof of the pudding...I don't want a theory, topic, or thought of what some man or woman has about Christ, I want the words of Christ. I want the proof in the pudding!
Are you searching for truth? You can hear it through Steve, you can hear it through Christians, you can hear it through church, you can hear it through books, commentaries and such, but you CAN FIND IT in the proof of the pudding... His Precious Holy Word.
I know you may say that scripture is difficult to understand at times and hard to read. That's because it is spiritually understood. This means apart from the revelation of God's Spirit we can't understand it. Before you open His Word ask the Holy Spirit of God to show you what is being said to your heart. Pray for guidance in the Word. I have no doubt that He will show you the proof in the pudding. Remember now..."It's in the eating". He actually says, "Taste and see..." Psalms 34:8
