From Gary... A key to the heart of the matter


























The Bible is a very big book and in some places it is difficult to understand, but when I saw this picture, I realized that if you look at it with the right attitude, it can be easily comprehended. And the key is both the key and the message.

First, look at the key. It is one of those keys that are meant to be carried with you (probably on a key ring, as indicated by the semicircle at its top) Next, notice that it is meant to be turned with the area that forms a heart. Also, that little key has to be put in the right place for the unlocking mechanism to activate. 

And what is the result?

The message it is pointing to, of course...


Matthew, Chapter 16 (WEB)

 12  Then they understood that he didn’t tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

  14  They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 

  15  He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 

  16  Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 


The Bible is the history of God bringing back human beings to himself and ultimately HE does this through his son Jesus.  And this little key points the way. When the heart and the head are used together and someone points the way (with a key, a word or something else)- the conclusion is obvious. Jesus is truly God and should be both loved and obeyed.

Think of the implications for your life, if verse 16 above is really true.  (And it is)
