The Bible is a mystical book. It is full of hidden treasures and the mystery of Christ is on every page. Can we begin to read the Bible with not our physical eyes or even with just our rational minds. Can we read the Scriptures with an open childlike heart as Jesus taught his disciples? Can we see God with new eyes past our schedules, agendas, problems, and concerns. Can we glimpse God in the every day, especially when we read inspired words of ink and paper. If God is making all things new, can we not read the Bible with mystical intuitions of seeing God in all things, especially his Holy Word. Can we notice God even in the spaces and cracks within scripture? The texts of terror and the hard sayings of Jesus? Can we contemplate scripture in silence and let scripture speak to our spirit and heart. When we read the Bible mystically, all the sudden the spaces between the letters explode with the presence of God. All the sudden we notice little things we never notices before and see patterns and spiritual connections we ignored or missed. When we read the Bible contemplatively and mystically, one gets lost in speechless wonder.
