The Power of the Bible to Illuminate Christ

Here is a quote on, The Power of the Bible to Illuminate Christ.

Please read it slowly & may it provoke you to read the WORD!

"Our Christian conviction is that the Bible has both

authority and relevance - to a degree quite
extraordinary in so ancient a book - and that the
secret of both is in Jesus Christ. Indeed, we should
never think of the Christ and the Bible apart ....
This reciprocal testimony between the Living Word
and the written Word is the clue to our Christian
understanding of the Bible. For his testimony to it
assures us of its authority, and its testimony to him of
its relevance. The authority and
the relevance are his."

John R. Stott

Rector Emeritus of All Souls Church, London
The Authority and Relevance of the Bible in the
Modern World, 1979
