The Bible is a unique book. Its words are human, but its message is Divine. It is, in a sense, an incarnation.
Just as Jesus’ body was nothing special (Isa. 53:2). So too, the words of the Bible are nothing special. They are human words. And many stumble at this. They read it literally, not spiritually.
But as Jesus was both God and man, so too the Bible is both human and Divine. The message is not contained in the words, it’s conveyed by the words. “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Do not read and interpret the Bible as you would any other book. Its message is spiritual. As Paul said, “we.. speak in words… which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual’ (1 Cor. 2:13).
And because the Bible is a spiritual book, “the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned”
(1 Cor. 2:13-14).
