Christ is revealed throughout all Scriptures, as seen in Luke 24:27 where He explains that the Scriptures concern Himself.
The assertion that Christ is in all the Scriptures is foundational to Reformed theology. In Luke 24:27, Jesus illustrates this by beginning with Moses and the Prophets to expound on the things concerning Himself. Each part of the Old Testament bears witness to Christ, whether through prophecy, typology, or foreshadowing of His sacrificial work. For instance, Jesus points to the Passover lamb as a type of Himself, fulfilling the requirement for redemption through the shedding of blood. This broad view of Scripture emphasizes that the entire Bible narrates the story of God's redemptive plan through Christ, enabling believers to see His significance in every passage.
