How To Read The Bible | Part 4 | Pastor Jacob Sheriff

Victory Life Church

This message invites us to read the Bible not merely as a text about Jesus,
but as a place where we encounter Jesus Himself. On the road to Emmaus,
the risen Christ walks with two confused disciples, explains the Scriptures, and reveals that the entire Bible points to Him. Their hearts burn, their eyes are opened, and their minds are given understanding, not through technique alone, but through presence. Scripture becomes life-giving when read with Jesus, allowing Him to interpret the Word He inspired. This message calls us to slow down, stay with Scripture, and let Jesus form us through burning hearts, open eyes, and understanding minds.

Move us from reading the Bible for information about Jesus to
encountering Jesus through the Bible.

Key Scriptures:
Luke 24:13-32- Jesus walks with His disciples and explains the Scriptures.
Luke 24:44-45-Jesus opens minds to understand Scripture.
John 5:39-40 -Scriptures testify about Jesus, yet can be read
without coming to Him.
2 Timothy 3:15 - Scripture makes us wise for salvation through faith in Christ.
