“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
There is a story that Queen Victoria asked Benjamin Disraeli how he knew God exists. He simply said, “The Jew, your Majesty.” We can also use this verse in 1 Peter to answer it, ”The Bible, your Majesty.” The fact that a 3,000 year old book tops the bestseller list every day of every year in history should be proof enough of the existence of God. Also consider that the Bible said it would last forever. Who can name the number one book of 1900? Me neither. None of the flowers from last Valentine’s day survived the week. This book lives and thrives in a hostile environment.
Come to Cape Community Church tomorrow as we learn from the Bible how to answer the question, What do you say the Bible is? We will celebrate the fact that it is the word of the Lord. We will marvel at the fact that it is eternal. We will learn that the message of the gospel, this 3,000 year old message, makes life feel brand new. That can only be done by the power of the Holy Spirit working in the writers of Scripture and the readers. It is not circular reasoning to prove the Bible with the Bible. If someone asks why you believe the Bible, the existence of it all these years later can help you give a two word answer…
The Bible.
