“You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.” – John 5:39 . “As though He says to them: ‘It is not enough for you to pride yourselves upon possessing the Scriptures, and that you read them. It is necessary that you search them diligently so that you may enjoy your redemption and eternal life, because all the Scriptures revolve round My coming to you.’ Saint John Chrysostom observes that this statement refers to those who search for precious minerals in the depth of the earth; they dig mines and search with great interest for the precious minerals until they find them.” – Fr.
