More Than a Law Book
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★WHEN a man gets in trouble with the law, he doesn’t want a law book. The law book is important but what he really needs is a lawyer. The lawyer is needed to reflect the law that is written in the book because the book, without the representative, a lawyer, is just information. When a woman is sick, she wants more than just a medical book; she wants a doctor. When a potential victim is facing a criminal, they need more than the penal code; they need an officer. The Bible is a book, but Jesus has personified the book in His person.
The point
Like a law book without a lawyer, Scripture without Jesus is merely information lacking its life-giving personification.
