As Augustine heard the words: “Tolle Lege” (Take up and read), let us do the same.
JC Ryle says: “He (or she) that desires to read the Bible with profit, must first ask the Lord Jesus to open the eyes of their understanding by the Holy Spirit. Human commentaries are useful in their way. The help of good and learned men is not to be despised. But there is no commentary to be compared with the teaching of Christ. A humble and prayerful spirit will find a thousand things in the Bible that the proud self-conceited student will utterly fail to discern.”
So – Tolle Lege!
