Look through it, not AT it

This echoes Jesus' words in John 5, to me:

“The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond, but most people only look at it; and so they see only the dead letter.”

--Phillips Brooks (author of O Little Town of Bethlehem)
