Why is knowing Christ essential for interpreting Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

Knowing Christ is essential since the Scriptures ultimately point to Him as the central theme.

Understanding Scripture hinges on recognizing that it is fundamentally about Christ. In Luke 24:44-47, Jesus Himself explained that everything written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms relates to Him. This perspective not only enriches our comprehension but also deepens our faith. When we read the Old Testament with an awareness that it anticipates Christ's coming and fulfillment of God's promises, we can grasp the entirety of Scripture as a coherent narrative centered on redemption through Him.
