Footnotes and Witness
Have you ever wondered if you are good enough to read the Bible? Does it feel like you aren't qualified? I grew up in church so I thought I knew how to read it; I didn't! With a few footnotes, I want to share the resources and tips that opened the Bible for me. The word finally started to feel like that "living" word I always hear about. If you follow Christ, you have the Holy Spirit and that means you are qualified to read God's word. If you want to be, this is a great place to dip your toes in the water and see what this whole Jesus thing is all about. I believe that when you read about God's true character, from His own words, you won't be able to stop telling people about how your life is saved and changed. Jesus wants us to tell our story because it is HIS story. See Jesus rightly in the Bible, and see Him in your story.

542 John 21 with Mary Austin
We made it! The last chapter of the book of John. Chapter 21 feels a little odd and misplaced in the sequence of events. It is here for a reason though. For one reason at least is we see the redemption of Peter and his 3 times betrayal from chapter 18. Jesus, resurrected and having breakfast, asks Peter 3x if he loves Him. Feel free to make notes about the pronouns if you tend to get a little lost. Also, just a reminder that commentaries and biblical definitions are used from
