We still aren’t over our 9th grade trip to DC! Students spent time at the Museum of the Bible exploring not only the history of Scripture, but some of the big questions surrounding it.
They saw fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, learned about the preservation and transmission of biblical texts, and wrestled with two important questions: Is the Bible true? And is the Bible good?
But perhaps the most important question is what we do with the story we’ve been given. The beauty of the Bible isn’t found only in its history, its poetry, or even the remarkable way it has been preserved. Its beauty is revealed most clearly when its story takes shape in us—when we live as people of love, justice, mercy, courage, and hope. We don’t simply get to read this beautiful story. We get to live it—and, in doing so, add to the beauty!
