The Old Testament is hard to read and understand. There are historical-cultural difficulties, meaning that there is quite a gap that separates us from this Old Testament world of temples and animals sacrifices, sabbatical years and dietary laws. How could this different world be relevant to us today?

Think (6)
And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 22:35-40)

Journey with Jack (3) - Joy and Truth
This is a very interesting biography on CS Lewis by John Piper. It is addressed to a group of mainly Reformed pastors, which may be a different demographic from my readership. Yet, I have experienced some of what Piper has in regards to reading Lewis, and I hope that listening might help you to become more fully alive in Jesus, even if some of the specifics of his focus might not seem as particularly relevant to you. And perhaps this video will serve as a means to your reading Lewis, which might serve as a means to your loving Jesus more.
