It is interesting to note that when Jesus was pressed about matters, He went to the Scriptures to make a point.  He began this practice in the earliest of His ministry when He was tempted by the Devil.  Three times He was tempted and three times He quoted from the Old Scriptures. 

At the first temptation, Jesus answered:  "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' " 

As He was tempted the second time, "Jesus said to him, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.' "

And finally, after the third temptation,  "Jesus said to him, 'Away with you, Satan!  For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve." ' "

It was important to Jesus to go directly to the Old Testament Scriptures to quote the Word of God in His defense of truth.  We find the later writers of New Testament Scripture doing the same thing.  They often quoted OT scripture and sometimes the very words of Jesus.  An example of this is found in 1 Corinthians 11 where Paul is teaching about the practice of taking the communion, the Lord's Supper:

Jesus took bread and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."  Then He took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood.  This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

Paul, in writing this account, wanted to be sure that the words of Jesus were never forgotten in this important practice.  Over and over throughout the Bible the words of God and Jesus are quoted in providing true answers.  This is a practice that we are able to follow.  We need to give Bible answers to important questions of life, to questions about how to worship, how to live, how to please God. 

The way to be what God wants us to be is to go to His Word, the Bible, and just do it.  Thanks for reading.  Feel the love.....
