“If you were given the opportunity to write a chapter for the bible what would you write about? What messages would you want your readers to take away?
If I could write a chapter of the bible, I think that I would write a letter concerning all youths. In this letter I would outline many of the issues that they face today and give them advice on how to deal with them, but not on their own. They would need to pray and seek God’s will. I would also write about how Jesus was once a teenager and would have had the same problems, I would give examples of these.
I would want the readers to take away the messages of hope, perseverance and encouragement. Hope because many adolescents face depression and have little hope for a brighter way, I would write to help them pull through and start looking for the light rather than just sitting back and believing there is no light. Perseverance because often the road to salvation is tough and at times you feel like giving up all together. They need to keep going no matter what else is happening around them, they must continue their journey. Lastly, encouragement because if you dont receive encouragement you can easily think that you are not doing the right thing, which can make you stop it altogether. They need to be encouraged to do the right thing and continue doing it.
