Lectionary for 5/20/08

Today's readings are Song of Solomon 4.1-5.1 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Song+4.1-5.1 ) and John 5.30-47 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=John+5.30-47 ).
 
I have just a brief challenge today.  John 5.39-40 (ESV) says "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life."
 
Do we truly believe that the Scripture is powerful, that God has revealed what we need, that being Jesus, and that the Word of God accomplishes God's purpose?  Is our trust based on what God has done or on our ability to communicate, explain, persuade people of it, and understand it ourselves?  What does the Scripture say?  What more do we need?
