As a preacher, I thought it would be interesting to hear of others' experiences. (Always looking for new material) I will get the ball rolling...

It was Ps 22. I had been attending church with my wife for a few years and had 'rediscovered' the Bible from my childhood. She challenged me with a Bible Study called, "Loving Your Wife". I realized the Bible had a great deal of practical teaching for marraige and decided I was going to read the Gospels along the way.

Soon after I had read the Gospels I came to Ps 22 for reasons I do not remember. It was like a flash of lightning to see that David, hundreds of years earlier, had so accurately described the Passion, even down to the smallest detail! I suddenly knew that the Bible was more than a book. It was the very Word of God!

That next Sunday I cornered the pastor and said, "Have you ever read Ps 22?" ( I was very excited) And he of course said yes and showed me other prophecies that were also fulfilled. From that day forward I was hooked.

How about you?
