The Key to Bible ProphecySample

Jesus Christ is the focus of the Bible. It’s history. It’s His-story. After the resurrection, Jesus met two disciples on the road to Emmaus. They didn’t recognize Him at first, and they communicated their sadness and discouragement about the death of Jesus. So, Jesus explained that the whole story “beginning with Moses and with all the prophets” was centered on the events that had just transpired in Jerusalem. He gave them a Sunday school lesson right then and there about how they should understand the Old Testament.

You see, the whole Old Testament is designed to point you to Jesus Christ. The reason they sacrificed lambs was that they were waiting for the Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. Old Testament and New Testament, Jesus is there on every page. And if you read the Bible with that understanding, your eyes will be opened. For the Bible is the menu, but Jesus is the meal. You won’t be satisfied by eating the menu. You need to partake of the meal.

So, search the Scriptures with opened eyes, and see that He is the key to everything you read in its pages. 

How does this truth change the way you read the Old Testament?
