Why is understanding Christ central to reading the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding Christ is essential because the entire Bible points to Him as the central theme of God's redemptive plan.

The centrality of Christ in the Scriptures is emphasized throughout the sermon, where it is stated that the Bible is fundamentally about Him. In John 5:39, Jesus declares that the Scriptures testify of Him. This means every part of the Bible—from the prophecies in the Old Testament to the teachings in the Gospels and Epistles—works together to reveal God's plan through Christ. When we read the Bible, it is essential to look for Christ to understand its full meaning and purpose. Exploring the Scriptures with Christ at the center helps prevent misunderstanding His message, ensuring we grasp the salvation He offers.
