More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Come See Jesus #2 -- John 1:1-14 -- How often do I miss the treasure?
Christ is the treasure of God, the gift of God too often unrecognized and reject. A lot of people missed God's treasure because it came wrapped in such a plain package. If we were to journey back in time to Bethelhem, ready to chronicle that starry, special night of his birth. I'm not sure that the video would go viral. We'd have a youtube video of two low-income, homeless people, unmarried, spending the night in a lean-to shed attached to the back of an adobe house; the agony and mess of childbirth. Later we might catch a visit to this lowly scene by a group of crude, and common sheep herders. Think about it. It's so common. God in dirty diapers.
A lot of people did not come to see Jesus, because they missed the treasure in such a plain package. And still today, so many miss the treasure. Look back over your week, have you missed the treasure?
