Yesterday, we looked at some things that witness to the truth of Jesus. Today, another witness is brought to the "stand": Scripture.
The Bible is a witness to Jesus. The "scarlet thread" of salvation weaves its way through both the Old and New Testaments. From Genesis, where the Father promises that Jesus will one day "bruise the head" of Satan (Genesis 3:15), to Revelation, where Jesus promises to "come quickly" (Revelation 22:20), the story of Jesus is revealed,
Some say that the Bible isn't true, that it's just another book, but when one investigates it by the standards of literary verification, she finds that it meets those standards:
The Bible has proven to be more historically and archaeologically accurate than any other ancient book. It has been subjected to the minutest scientific textual analysis possible to humanity and has been proven to be authentic in every way ... Historical evidence routinely includes ancient literature, business records, and government documents, analyzed in conjunction with linguistics, geography, and archaeological analysis of physical objects (pottery, coins, remains of buildings, etc.), using forensic science techniques. After many millions of man-hours of research and evidence analysis, archaeology has repeatedly confirmed the reliability of the Bible. The Bible has been proven geographically and re-proven historically accurate, in the most exacting detail, by external evidences. (Institute for Creation Research)Since the Bible is historically accurate, we can trust its truth. We can trust that Jesus is who He says He is. He is God the Son. He lives today. And He will one day return for His church. Those of us who trust in Him as our Savior will spend eternity with Him.
We can believe in this witness because it is true. We can we believe in Jesus because He is truth.
