A one-verse Bible

I listened to Keller recently preaching from Jonah.

He made a fascinating comment quoting his mentor and friend Edmund Clowney. Clowney said that if you were to take one verse to sum up the whole Bible it should be Jonah 2 v 9.

This is it:

"Salvation comes from the Lord'

That is worth some reflection in Easter week. It is also it seems to me a one verse apologetic for a one-verse evangelist. Suffering? Jonah 2 v 9. Other religions? Jonah 2 v 9. Science? Jonah 2 v 9

Why not have a go at having a conversation about Jesus with your new one-verse Bible. I've been doing it all week.
