“The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond; but most people only look at it; and so they see only the dead letter.”
-Phillips Brooks
Found this fairly thought provoking this morning. Wonder if the same applies to people. In my bible study last night the group was discussing, among other things, how we are created for fellowship. Not just with God, with other people. And I’m thinking the true value in our fellowship comes in the “through” and not the “at”. By that I mean that true fellowship is a means by which we can experience God.
