Exhausted, Not Exhaustive

With a late night of paper-writing and with only more scholastic obligations to come, I find myself empty of subjects on which to write. On top of this, Leah (my fiance) and I are trying to read through the whole Bible in 2-3 months. While I am encountering many wonderful pieces of God's sovereign plan throughout Scripture, I also find myself too exhausted to search through the well-springs and narrow down a singular topic from what already has amounted to over 100 chapters in just a week. So, with that said, I will simply offer some wisdom from someone much older, deader, and wiser than I. From Erasmus' Foreword to the Latin New Testament comes the following gem (keep in mind that he is writing on the eve of the Reformation, and much of Luther and Calvin's success as reformers came only because of the work that God was already doing through Erasmus):

"But happy the man whom death overtakes in the act of meditating this philosophy of Christ. Let us all, then, immerse ourselves in it, embrace it, practice it night and day, kiss it greedily, and die in it after we have been transformed into it.... If someone shoudl show us the footprints of Christ, how eagerly would we Christians bow down and worship before them! Why then don't we venerate his living and breathing image in these writings (Scripture)? Should anyone produce a tunic worn by Christ, we would hurry to the ends of the earth to kiss it. But you might assemble his entire wardrobe, and it would contain nothing that Christ did not express more explicitly and truly in the evangelic books.... An image, if it represents anything at all, represents only the form of the body, but these writings (Scripture) set before you the living picture of his sacred mind, Christ as he actually spoke, healed, died, and rose from the grave, rendering him so completely present that you would see less of him if you had him directly in front of your eyes."

.....Wow
