Christ is the central figure in both the Old and New Testaments, as shown by numerous passages confirming His promise and work.
Throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, Christ is presented as the focal point of God's redemptive plan. Luke 24:25-27 highlights how Jesus Himself explained to His disciples that the Old Testament scriptures were all about Him. Each prophetic element and historical narrative points toward His coming, suffering, and glory. Paul reiterates in 1 Corinthians 15:3 that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, emphasizing that the entire narrative of Scripture culminates in His work of salvation. Thus, understanding Scripture requires seeing Christ as its central figure.
