Unearthing Jesus

Finding Jesus means finding His Word. Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself through His spoken and written message. The prophet Jeremiah declared, “Your words were found and I ate them, and Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart” (Jeremiah 15:16). God's Word is not merely information to be read; it is spiritual nourishment to be received and treasured. Jesus Himself is called “the Word” (John 1:1, 14). Therefore, when we seek to know Christ, we must turn to the Scriptures that testify of Him. Jesus told the Jews, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me” (John 5:39). The Bible reveals His character, His teachings, His sacrifice, and His will for our lives. Finding God's Word requires diligence. The psalmist rejoiced, saying, “I rejoice at Your word, as one who finds great spoil” (Psalm 119:162). Just as a treasure hunter searches for hidden riches, Christians should seek God's truth with eager hearts. When we find and obey God's Word, it lights our path (Psalm 119:105), strengthens our faith (Romans 10:17), and draws us closer to Jesus, the source of eternal life.
