Proverbs
8:33-35 – Listen to
my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it. Blessed
are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway. For those who find me find life and
receive favor from the Lord.
John 5:39-40 – You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal
life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about
me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
Proverbs 3:1-2 – My son, do not
forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and
prosperity.
John 1:4 – In him was life, and
that life was the light of all mankind.
Application:
- · The Jewish leaders studied Scripture in minute detail. Despite their reverence for the very letter of Scripture, they did not recognize the one to whom Scripture bears supreme testimony.
- · Fear of the Lord brings health to the body and “adds length to life”. When Solomon prayed for wisdom, God promised him riches as well as long life if he obeyed God’s commands.
- · “Life” is one of the great concepts of this Gospel. The Greek word for “life” is found 36 times in John, while no other New Testament book uses it more than 17 times. Life is Christ’s gift, and He, in fact, is “the life”.
