Origen of Alexandria

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly - Scripture should fill our hearts and minds abundantly.

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth his friend - Christian fellowship sharpens and refines our character.

Whither thou goest, I will go - Ruth's devotion to Naomi shows us the commitment that should mark our following of Christ.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure - The gospel's truth is a treasure hidden in Scripture, requiring diligent search.

In the beginning was the Word - The Word is the Reason of God, his Wisdom, through whom all things were made.
