Struggling with Scripture

This year (2020) I’ve been struggling with certain topics when engaging with scripture, e.g. passover and communion. I feel like my childhood conception of scripture is really being challenged.
I feel that, in this context, John 5:39(-40?) is for me. “You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, (yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.)” I think the challenge is to seek God Himself - not just ‘truth.’
