So, picture yourself on a small boat on the Mediterranean. You're a free diver searching for priceless artifacts on the seafloor below. A fleet of these treasure hunters is spread out over the water as far as you can see. As you bring up ancient pieces made of gold, silver, and precious gems, you show them to those around you so everyone can see the beauty you've discovered. All around, the rest of the fleet is doing the same: awestruck by what others are bringing up, they dive down to gather their own treasures.
So it is with the Word of God. Each passage is its own Mediterranean: full of priceless truths from God which need to be sought after if you actually want them for yourself. God has so much goodness and so many revelations buried within Scripture. He doesn't want us to just float above such depth, coasting over passages so we can say we've read them, yet not diving in and exploring them. God wants us to take time with His Word, delving down and searching it for truth...for Him. There is so much God wants to share with each one of us, things which those around us might not find themselves. He doesn't give these to us only for our own benefit, they are also for those around us to see so they might glorify God.
God has put so much in His Word...keep searching.
Peace.

Nice! I'm pretty terrified of the ocean though...good thing the Bible doesn't have anything that's going to grab my foot and drag me down to the depths where I can't breathe anymore. I still like the analogy! :)
