Why dad?

Dad why do we read the Bible? Because son there is a journey we all travel but this journey is different than any other because you cannot see, touch, or hear it but this journey is the most import one of them all. But dad if I can't see, touch or hear it how do I know where I'm going? That's the best part son, we have a guide that leads us but you can't see, touch, or hear Him either. But dad I don't understand. How can I follow someone that I cannot see on a path that cannot be touched? Our guide is Jesus Christ and He has given us a road map, it's called the Bible. Those who try to find this path without it are hopelessly lost, as a matter of fact Jesus in His infinite wisdom has hidden the path from all including the rich, those who do well in school, and those who are over us so that all the glory might go to His Father in heaven. You see many have tried to get to heaven on their own but all have fallen short of the mark but Jesus knows we cannot make it without Him and has a plan. In the end all the winners read the Bible not so they can look good but so they can see, does that make sense son? Yes dad, Jesus gave us His Word so that we may know Him and be able to follow Him so that one day we can all go to live with Him in heaven. That's right son, I love you.
