“Here is rock: all else is sand,” was J.C. Ryle’s description of the Bible in the eighteenth century.
Whether the challenge has been tradition or reason, or experience in more recent times, the Scriptures are still supreme today, God-breathed, reliable, and trumping all other authorities.
Yet the supremacy of Scripture is not some dictate imposed by a faceless despot. Far from it! Scripture’s words are those of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who laid down His life for His people.
