Did you perhaps pick up the Bible this morning to read a chapter or two (or flicked through a couple of pages on your phone as the case may be)? Did you, in reading that bit of Scripture come across words which conveyed truth in a way they hadn't previously, or words which convicted you of sin, uplifted your spirit, showed you more of who God is, stirred you to praise?
God's word is living, we know it, we give thanks for it! But I wonder how many of us, with Bibles so widely available in English, have ever felt what the people in this video felt, receiving the New Testament in their own language for the very first time?
Have a look at this amazing video of the Kimyal tribe, living in the Eastern Highlands of West Papua in Indonesia (not so far away from where we are really). Their joy, their tears, their gratitude.... May these scenes of brothers and sisters' great rejoicing move us to love and treasure God's Word more!
