Scripture
Jesus knew the Scriptures inside and out.
He often quoted from them, and referenced the them in His teachings, when faced with temptation, in His normal, and everyday conversations.
How does one get to know something so well? By spending a lot of time with it. As a Jew, Jesus would have grown up immersed in the Hebrew Scriptures. It’s likely that at around age 4 or 5, hH would have gone to the local school where memorization of the Jewish Scriptures was a major part of the curriculum.
Scrolls lived in the Temples and Synagogues. It wasn’t like today where you could access a Bible 24/7 from anywhere in the world. So, the way that you kept things in front of you was through memorizing it.
If you’re Bible got taken from you, could you still keep Scripture in front of you? Have you taken time to memorize any of it? How might memorizing Scripture impact your day to day life?
About this Plan
Many people treat spiritual disciplines or practices as optional. And yet, for Jesus and His earliest followers, these practices were part of their everyday lives. If we truly desire to follow Jesus and become more like Him, we cannot ignore the very practices Jesus Himself modeled for us.
