Christ in Genesis (10 of 37)
Series: Christ in All the Scripture

Last time we found that need a strategic grasp of the Bible because God's Word is TRUTH.
Secondly, we need to understand why God gave us these 66 inspired books. To understand why, turn with me to Luke 24.25-27. Here Jesus gives a seven-mile Bible study to those on the road to Emmaus. Note what He said THEY (the entire Old Testament) SPEAK (every book, every chapter, even every detail) OF ME (the Bible is Christ centered)!
Luke 24:25-27 Then He said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?" 27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
In the thirty-nine Old Testament books, Christ is in the shadows, seen in analogies and in pictures. He is in types and rituals. He is prophesied and anticipated. The twenty-seven New Testament books complete the Old, revealing Christ in person, in truth and reality, in the present and acknowledged.
Can I Tell You About Jesus Christ ?
Can I Tell You About Jesus Christ ?
He is:
King of all the Ages;
King of Heaven;
King of Glory;
King of Kings;
..and Lord of Lords.
By Him were all things made that were made;
without Him was not anything made that was made;
By Him are all things held together!
He is:
A priest like Melchizedek;
A beloved/rejected/exalted son like Joseph.
An offering like Isaac;
A prophet like Moses;
And yet far more...
He is the "I AM that I AM"
The voice of the burning bush
A champion like Joshua;
The Captain of the Lord's Host
The conqueror of Jericho
He is:
Our Kinsman-Redeemer
Our Performing High Priest,
Our Avenger of Blood;
Our City of Refuge;
Our Personal Prophet,
Our Reigning King.
He is a king like David;
The Heavens declare His glory...
And the firmament ...
