To what avail are scriptures etched on stones 
If it’s true, we must feel it in our bones”
                                                ~ Author Unknown

My first question would be…
Who is it that etched scripture on stone?
Then why is such a distinction made?

     Long ago, Jehovah called Moses to the Mount
     and carved on two stones divine law for His people.
     His covenant involved sacrifice for breakage.
     In anger, Moses broke both the law and the stones
     shattering revered integrity in anger.
     
     See,  God’s people thought Moses was not coming back.
     Perhaps God had killed him up there on that mountain.
     Brother Aaron had let them shape a golden calf
     which they freely worshipped instead of Jehovah. 

     God Himself engraved  those basic Ten Commandments
     which bestows a special significance itself.
     But the second real distinction came later as 
     His people realized, man cannot keep God’s  law.


What is the next question?
Why must scripture be felt in our bones
More important, what is the truth discerned therein?

     The same Jehovah called Jesus Christ to the cross,
     conferred forgiveness for lack of obedience.
     Jesus’ own words are the truth He came to reveal
     when He said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.”
     No one can come to the Father except through Christ.

     Hear these words from major prophet Ezekiel -
     God will remove their hearts of stone and grant them peace;
     His spirit will dwell in the hearts of believers. *
     Promised Messiah had come, Israel’s King of Kings.

     Royal throne, the cross where Jesus was crucified
     and thorns were the kingly crown they placed on His head.
     His perfect submission, example set for man;
     His grace and mercy within us proves His true worth.

John 14:6  and Ezekiel 36:25-28

* the scripture from Ezekiel 36:26-28
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."
