I bet you did not know that the Bible could teach you how to deal with mildew (Lev. 13:47-58). The Bible is a book of timeless truths filled with wisdom. In fact, to go a little farther with this idea, the Bible even teaches us how to dig an outdoor toilet (Deuteronomy 23:12-13). Ok, so there are more important things in the Bible than this. The Bishop Butler went as far as to say, "It is not at all incredible, that a book which has been so long in the possession of mankind should contain many truths as yet undiscovered." In O.T. times, the Israelities were considered unclean due to skin diseases (Lev. 13:46). Today, we just see a doctor and hope for the best.
In Matthew 26, Jesus shares some intimate moments with his disciples (v. 26-30). However, the disciples have not yet received the Holy Spirit and are found either to be asleep (v. 43), falling away from Him (v. 31), or betraying him altogether (v. 48). In fact, we like to pick on Peter (v. 31-35), but before Christ is led to the high priest Caiphas, all the disciples turned their back on Jesus (v. 56). What ways can we notice in our own lives where we fall short and turn our backs on Him?
