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. One 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 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 bonfires. 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.
