Holland, perhaps Belgium and
countries, at least German
speaking countries. I think
there may have to be some
German translators there.
Then to at least one of the
Churches in France, and
perhaps down to Switzerland;
then back home and speaking
to a group of young people at
Orr, Minnesota on the way
back; or the final group at Orr
for the summer. We are having
three groups up there this
summer, by the way. The 2nd
group is just starting this week;
and I will speak to them, God
willing, on the way back over
to England, and Germany, and
France and then to Orr, the
next group on the way back.
After that I hope I'll be back
here with you again, and so it
will go.
BIBLE LIKE A
JIGSAW PUZZLE
Now I have been speaking the
last several times I've been
here, and in other Churches
also, going right back to the
beginning in the Garden of
Eden. God has been revealing
new truth to us. It's not new
truth. It's truth that's been new
for a long, long time. But God's
truth is always new, by the
way. It never gets old. It's not
old truth. It's perpetually new;
but a lot of it is new to us,
because we hadn't seen it
before. Now, it's all been in the
Bible; but, you know, the Bible
is like a jigsaw puzzle.
I'm sure you all have worked
out a jigsaw puzzle at one time
or another. It's a large picture.
Sometimes it's, oh, about so
big; and sometimes they're
smaller.
It's cut up with a jigsaw with
little curlicues all here and
there, in about anywhere from
100 up to quite a little more
than a thousand different
pieces, all curlicues around
different ways; and you have to
put them together. They're cut
in such a way it's very difficult
to know what piece goes next
to what other piece. Now,
when they are unscrambled,
you don't see any picture at all.
You don't realize there is any
picture there; and yet there is a
picture there when you get it
all together, and when you get
them into place one next to the
other where it belongs.
Now, the Bible is like that. I've
often thought of starting to
explain that in Genesis 1 verse
1. And in
Genesis 1 verse 1
to
explain and go to other parts of
the Bible that talk about the
same thing and throw addi-
tional light on what is there.
Well, I would go next to
John
1:1,
in fact in
John 1:1 to
John
1
verse 4.
And to make it still
more clear, I think I would go
on to verse
14
in John 1. And
then I think I would go to the
3rd chapter of Ephesians and
verse 9 where the Word, who
became Jesus Christ, was
really the maker of all things.
