Welcome back!

Ten years ago, one sentence radically changed the way I view and read scripture. Here’s what my Hindu friend taught me about the Bible…

I’ve been reading scripture wrong my whole life…and you probably have been too.

Let me set the scene for you: I was living in southern India at the time. The vast majority of Indians, if you didn’t know, are of the Hindu faith. Faith and religion was a conversation I often had with my Hindu friends.

One day a few of my friends were at my apartment. We were sitting around discussing a story of Jesus which you may be very familiar with. I know I was. It was the story of the woman who washed Jesus’ feet with her hair.

If you’ve heard this story before, you likely have a picture in your mind of what the scene looked like. Jesus and others gathered around a table, talking. Food and drink are being consumed. A woman hunched over with her head near Jesus’ feet as she cries and scrubs.

It was at this point that my friend made the statement that destroyed my paradigm about reading scripture.

Find out what he said!

I would love to hear your reactions to the story.

Would you respond to this email and let me know what you think?

Thanks!
