Hebrews 4:12-16 / Mark 2:13-17  

The sacred book of Christianity is the Bible.

Altogether, there are 73 books that are divided into two main sections – the Old  Testament and the New Testament.

So we can imagine the amount of words in the Bible.

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God.

As Christians, though we may not be able to memorise or quote from the Bible, we can somewhat remember a phrase or two from the Bible.

We will remember stories and characters from the Bible.

So, the Word of God is in us in varied forms, and it is alive and active, and it can judge our secret emotions and thoughts.

Most of all, the Word of God speaks to us in a deep personal way, and it helps to understand the will of God and how to fulfill that will.

In the gospel, Jesus, the Word of God made flesh, called Levi the tax-collector, and he got up and followed Jesus.

Let us read the Bible more often so that we will be able to hear Jesus calling out to us and we will know what God wants of us.
