The wish is father to the thought.
Eisegesis literally means “to lead into.” Eisegesis is the interpretation of a passage based on a subjective, non-analytical reading. The opposite approach to Scripture is exegesis, which is the exposition or explanation of a text based on a careful, objective analysis. The interpreter can inject his own ideas into the text and find his own meaning.
What idea do I want to present? What Scripture passage seems to fit with my idea? What does my idea mean? Scripture is used as a prop.

Exercise
First, the interpreter decides on a topic. Today, it’s “The Importance of Church Attendance.”
The interpreter reads 2 Chronicles 27:1-2 and sees that King Jotham was a good king, just like his father Uzziah had been, except for one thing: he didn’t go to the temple! This passage seems to fit his idea, so he uses it.
The resulting sermon deals with the need for passing on godly values from one generation to the next. Just because King Uzziah went to the temple every week didn’t mean that his son would continue the practice. In the same way, many young people today tragically turn from their parents’ training, and church attendance drops off. The sermon ends with a question: “How many blessings did Jotham fail to receive, simply because he neglected church?”
Certainly, there is nothing wrong with preaching about church attendance or the transmission of values. And a cursory reading of 2 Chronicles 27:1-2 seems to support that passage as an apt illustration. However, the above interpretation is totally wrong. For Jotham not to go to the temple was not wrong; in fact, it was very good.
