Seeing the Scripture through new eyes
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
John 14:11-14
When we approach the Bible, we usually see it through a particular lens. Our lens is a certain way of seeing the world (and Scripture). Our lens is influenced by our past experiences, and things we have been taught by others. Sometimes that lens can get in the way of the truth.
What if we read the above Scripture without our lens?
What if we let Scripture inform our experience rather than letting our experience interpret Scripture?
What do you think Jesus meant when He said those words?
What are you going to do about it?
