So, a few new girls attended our Bible study several weeks ago. None had dived too deeply into scripture, although both were cradle Catholics. We were studying John‘s gospel and our group had done this in the past. Having these new girls on board brought an incredible perspective that stumped us into silence more than once! One night Josette asked why Jesus had to actually be tortured and suffer so badly and die like that in order for our sins to be forgiven. Of course us "experienced" students knew the answer, however, we just looked at each other and didn’t know what to say! The answer was somewhere in our brain, but we couldn’t get it out. Oh how much we did not know! So we dived into scripture, Googled and discussed for at least a half an hour that night. Of course we did know the answer and of course we found it, but someone else had to put it into words for us! Once we did that we were all screaming with joy I mean, screaming like woo hoo and all that! That’s my story for today. I invite anyone to ask me questions about that night or any other situation you might be having. Our Bible group is so much fun, so fascinating and so deeply determined to understand our Lord Jesus through scripture using the old testament and the new!
