It’s a sad but true fact. Many Christians are frustrated when they open their Bibles. So many passages in God’s Word seem confusing or difficult.

I know, because I have often felt that way too. And so did my father, Wayne Jackson.

But if he had a gift it was this. When he found a difficult passage, like a dog with a bone, he refused to let go of it until he had plumbed its depths to discover the truth. In doing so, he was able to share with others the vast riches of God’s word—both in his teaching and writing.

One of his favorite things to write about were these little nuggets of gold in the Sacred Text. In his monthly paper, the Christian Courier, he maintained a column of Notes from the Margin of My Bible. Later, those margin notes and others were combined in a book under the same name.
