Speaker: Kenny Antony Soosai
We had the pleasure of having with us Kenny, one of the
founders of StAY and a man with a great gift of knowledge and teaching, talk to
us about Bringing the Scriptures to Life.
He shared with us his personal Bible journey, helpful tips
on how to choose a Bible, how to navigate through it, and other tools to help
us in our Bible study. He also shared with us different ways on how to study
the Bible and gave several examples on how the Scriptures in the New Testament
connects to events in the Old Testament.
Most importantly, he has shown how the Scripture is not just
a book, but the living word that we can rely on and is very much applicable in
our daily lives.
Just as Peter has denied Jesus thrice in front of a charcoal
fire, He has given Peter the chance to declare his love for Him thrice in a
charcoal fire that He built. Such a wonderful testimony of forgiveness and hope
that no matter how much we stuff up in our lives, our Lord not only gives us
second chances and a clean slate, but gives His total trust in us, just as He
has entrusted Peter to feed and tend His sheep.
This is just one of the many beautiful stories of love
evident in His written Word. By studying and immersing ourselves in His Word,
not only do we get a deeper understanding of God's love and His ways, but we
are also called to obedience to Him, to live His Word in our lives, and to pass
it on.
