Matthew 27:45-46, 50

Like we’ve talked about throughout this series, part of the goal of reading scripture is to internalize it, get it from the outside and into our bones. Well, few disciplines do that better than the discipline of memorizing it. Put simply, it’s one of the best ways to take God’s Word and get it deep into ourselves, so that we can live and act as God’s people.

If you’d like to read a helpful book about what it looks like to read and engage with scripture, I’d recommend Eugene Peterson’s Eat This Book. It’s a beautiful reflection on the power of scripture and how we, as Christians, can truly read it for all it’s worth.
