The Lasting Legacy of The Lord 3/17/14
Voltaire, a famous french philosopher was also a brilliant
atheist. He wrote a number of articles deriding the Bible.
On one occasion he declared, "One hundred years from today
the Bible will be a forgotten book!"
Most people have never heard that quote, yet most people
have heard of the Bible. After Voltaire died, for nearly
100 years, his home was used as a the depository for the
French Bible Society. How ironic that Bibles were sold
from what once was the place where he lived and wrote
his materials proclaiming that God's Word would not
last. Yet it is he who is nearly forgotten while the
Bible has become a "bestseller" year after year.
Voltaire's home, by the way, is now a museum.
Others have also attempted to destroy the meaning and
the message of the Bible. No one has been successful!
It has survived every assault and weathered every
storm. It has been banned from continents and burned
in public bond fires. It has been ridiculed and rejected
but it is still honored and held in esteem by
those who seek the way, the truth, and the life. (that
would be me!) It has been despised and disputed,
debated and denied having relevance in today's world,
yet sought for when eternal questions need truthful
answers.
The Bible is still the most read, the most published,
and the most translated book ever written. It
continues to change lives (like mine) and provide
directions for those who seek a lamp for their
feet and a light for their paths.
