Coming to Christ for Life in the Bible - John 5:39-40
"You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that testify concerning Me. Yet you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life." ~John 5:39-40
To "search the Scriptures" may be separated
from "come to Me" (v. 40). The Jewish religionists searched the Scriptures but were not willing to come to the Lord. These two should go together; because the Scriptures testify concerning the Lord, they should not be separated from the Lord. We may contact
the Scriptures, yet not contact the Lord. Only the Lord can give life.
