A picture paints a thousand words, so it’s been said.
Did you know the Bible, the Word of God, communicates in more ways than we realise?
When confronting the religious leaders of Israel Jesus often asked, “Have you not read…?” to expose their ignorance of scripture.
Some believers trying to understand the Bible have read the Bible numerous times in several translations; yet fall short in their understanding. Don’t we wish God would “open our eyes” so we can fully comprehend the Bible in it’s fullness? Actually we can, in some ways!
God communicates in many ways in His Word. There are types, patterns, pictures, and models built into the Word, that once grasped will not be easily forgotten. So in addition to Jesus’ question, “Have you not read?” we should ask another question, “Can you not see?”
Wan will try to explore pictures, designs, types, and patterns that God has built into His Word. And in “seeing” these “pictures and patterns” we will begin to appreciate and admire the beauty and brilliance that God, the Maker of heavens and earth, who wants to communicate with us.
Once you see the “picture” in God’s Word you will appreciate the multitudinal ways God speaks to us, that are “hidden in plain sight.” Only the Creator God who is outside our space-time dimension can speak beyond mere words.
