"Understanding the Scriptures"

Luke 24:44-45 "And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures"

When Jesus left this earth to return to Heaven, He left a command to us that we are to be witnesses for Him. We are to strive to fulfill this command, and I believe that we can fulfill if we choose to.

However, you and I cannot be witnessing about the Bible if we haven't witnessed what the Bible can do in our own lives. Have you memorized any Scripture? Have you hidden God's word in your heart? The Bible says that, "faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."

How can expect to have boldness in witnessing if we don't have an understanding of the Scriptures? How can expect to understand the Scripture if we don't first read the Scripture? We must be constantly in the Word of God, striving to have a better understanding of the Scriptures if we ever want to fulfill the command of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
