Show Notes

The Bible is not merely a collection of ancient texts but a divine treasure map leading us to Jesus Christ, the ultimate treasure. In John 5:39, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for diligently studying the Scriptures yet failing to recognize Him as the fulfillment of those sacred writings. From Genesis to Revelation, every book, prophecy, and narrative points to Jesus—His life, mission, and redemptive work. As believers, we are invited to approach Scripture not just for knowledge but to encounter the living Word, allowing it to deepen our relationship with Christ.

 

To see Jesus in the Scriptures, we must look for His character, mission, and foreshadowing throughout its pages. The Old Testament reveals Him through Messianic prophecies, types like Joseph and Moses, and events like the Passover and the Day of Atonement, which point to His ultimate sacrifice. The New Testament unveils His life, death, and resurrection while reminding us of His promise to return. Whether in familiar verses or challenging passages, asking questions like “What does this teach me about Jesus?” or “How does this reveal God’s plan for redemption?” helps us uncover the Christ-centered message of the Bible.

 

The study of Scripture must not stop at intellectual understanding; it must lead to personal transformation. As we internalize the truths of God’s Word, the Holy Spirit shapes our thoughts, actions, and relationships to reflect Christ. Furthermore, the Scriptures empower us to share the gospel with others, pointing them to the Savior revealed in its pages. By seeking Jesus in our study, allowing His Word to transform our lives, and sharing His love with others, we fulfill the purpose for which the Bible was given: to testify of Him and draw us into a deeper relationship with our Creator and Redeemer.
