  <itunes:subtitle>This contemplative devotional episode reflects on John 5:39–40 in the New Living Translation (NLT). Jesus confronts religious leaders who diligently study Scripture but refuse to come to Him for life.
Host Nick Oyler invites listeners to examine their own relationship with the Bible and to let Scripture become a doorway into deeper encounter with Christ, rather than an end in itself. A “faith sharing” practice helps you pass along a truth from today’s reading to someone else.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>In John 5:39–40 (NLT), Jesus tells Bible‑loving people, “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.”
🎯Today, we consider the danger of stopping at information and how Scripture is meant to lead us into a living relationship with Jesus Himself.
