What does the Bible say about Christ's role in the Scriptures?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible reveals that Christ is the central figure throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
The Scriptures testify that Christ is all throughout the Bible, with the Old Testament coming alive with types, shadows, and prophecies that point to His person and work. From Genesis to Revelation, everything reveals the Savior – from His incarnation to His sacrificial death and glorious resurrection. He is the Ark of Noah, the Passover Lamb, and the true Bread that came down from heaven.
In John 5:39, Jesus emphasizes this truth when He instructs the Pharisees to search the Scriptures, indicating that they testify of Him. The historical, poetic, and prophetic books all point towards the central message of redemption found in Him. Every passage can be seen as either a shadow or a direct reference to the coming Messiah, culminating in the New Testament revelations of His ministry, death, and resurrection and empowering believers by the Holy Spirit to understand and appreciate this essential truth.
