T.N.T.

A preacher once sent a number of books from his personal library (among them a copy of the New Testament) to be rebound. On the return of his books, he was startled to discover on the spine of the New Testament–in gold embossed letters–the initials “T.N.T.” You see, there was no room to spell out “The New Testament,” so the bookbinder merely inscribed the first letter of each of those three words.

Not a bad name for the New Testament, is it? The bookbinder’s abbreviation was right on target. Truly, the New Testament is “God’s T.N.T.”–spiritual dynamite! Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the “power” of God for salvation…” (Romans 1:16)
