The lesson is a reminder that we would not have our Bibles if it weren’t for those who copied and translated the Scriptures. We’ve met our spiritual ancestors in the Bible, but now we’ve met our spiritual ancestors who preserved it. They were part of a relay that passed along the Word of God until a pivotal moment in history made mass production possible. And that’s what the next lesson is about.
