One of the things I love about the story of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-39 is how much he valued the Word of God. At that time, it was very difficult to have your own copy of the scrolls, but as he traveled to and from Jerusalem to worship, we see him reading from the prophet Isaiah. He didn’t understand all that he read, but God sent Philip to explain things to him more clearly.
The eunuch was reading a portion of Isaiah that referred to Christ as the lamb, led to slaughter, the perfect sacrifice for our sins. He was reading from the Word, about the Word, but had not yet had the opportunity to see it all come together. The Ethiopian did not know that the Lamb, the Word incarnate had already come to earth, dwelling among us, but God sent Philip to make sure that he learned the truth, was transformed by it, and then went home to share it with others!

Every Scripture is God-breathed. He spoke the world into existence and breathed life into Adam and Eve’s lungs. In a similar way, God breathed out His words, carried on by the Holy Spirit, written down by prophets and other writers of the Bible.
Without these words of life, can we truly live?
The Bible continues to be relevant today and vital to everyday life.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 says,
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
This month, we are going Back to the Basics, focusing on the initial and essential teachings of Scripture. And as we lay the foundation for this theme, we must start with a foundation in the Word of God.
