"You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life." Keeping in mind that Jesus was arriving on the scene at a time when the Law was the absolute, it was something to say, "that points to me, here I am." Our task is the same: Jesus is the way, Scripture is an arrow pointing to him.
