While visiting the British Museum, in London, we were privileged to see the Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta Stone carries an inscription in different languages which helped decipher the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic script. It is the only surviving fragment of a larger stone slab (stela) recording a decree on 27 March, 196 BC. At the top of the decree was written in hieroglyphs, the traditional script of Egyptian monuments, already 3000 years old. In the middle the same decree was written in Demotic, the everyday script of literate Egyptians, and at the bottom in Greek, the language used by the government. The script was a decree issued in honor of the boy-king Ptolemy V Epiphanes. As soon as the Rosetta Stone was discovered, scholars realized that it might help decipher the mysterious Egyptian hieroglyphs, since the Greek inscription, which could be read, stated that each script on the Stone recorded the same decree.
The Bible, like the Rosetta Stone, carries the inspiration (and inscription) of God to man. It is the script that honors God’s Son (boy) and King, Jesus Christ. The Bible helps us decipher the mind of God about His Son and the Salvation He provides to all mankind. Have you read and trusted in this script?
2 Timothy 3:15-17 (KJV)
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
