Different questions I would research are: a timeline of Jesus' life, understanding the roles and relationships between people in the Old Testament, and a verse by verse breakdown of specific books in the Bible. I would start my research from reading; the Bible provides the answers, but it is difficult the read chapter after chapter and retain the names and places, so that is why journaling is so important. The Bible does not always refer back to the past events that a person has done, so by writing them down, as I read, I will be able to make connections that I would not be able to do other ways. For the timeline, dates and order is important. By reading through the Gospels, I can use Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John's memory of the events the order it. The verse by verse break down of books require a softened heart and open ears. There are times that a verse will be read multiple times, and a different meaning are taken from it each time, it just depends how the holy spirit works through the verse to reveal different things to you. It is especially important to write down the things the Holy Spirit is placing on your heart for future reference to remind yourself.
Not only does God reveal himself through the Bible, but He reveals who we are in Him, so the deeper we dig in, the deeper the understanding and relationship we will have of Christ. This learning isn't something for a test or for college, it is for eternity, so I am extremely passionate about discovering more about my Savior and by having an hour each week during school to do so, it allows me to be alone with Christ is the mist of a busy schedule.
Very good. Midst, not mist.
