What Does It Say?
from Unmarked Trail Hosted by Don Hornsby
What does the Bible actually say before we decide what it means? In this episode of Unmarked Trail, Don Hornsby focuses on the first of three simple Bible-reading questions: What does it say? This is the work of observation. Don explores a principle a mentor taught him years ago: “Know what you see, not see what you know.” Then he walks through Mark 2:1–12, the healing of the paralytic, showing how much we can notice before we rush into interpretation or application. Along the way, we look for repeated words, people, movement, questions, contrasts, reactions, and details that are easy to miss when we assume we already know the story. The goal is simple: Look first. Explain later. If you’d like a copy of the Unmarked Trail study card, send a note to [email protected], and I’ll be glad to send one your way.
