Jesus
in the Psalms
When the risen Lord Jesus Christ met two of His followers, who had little
understanding about His death and resurrection, beginning with Moses
and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the
Scriptures concerning Himself. Luke 24:27
Many people have realized that the Bible is all about Jesus. Consider
what the following individuals said.
· Martin Luther - "We come to a cradle in order to see the
baby, so we come to the Bible to see Christ." And "Every word
of the Bible rings with Christ."
· Jerome - "Knowledge of scripture is knowledge of Christ
and ignorance of them is ignorance of Him."
· John Chrysostom - "Read all the prophetic books without
seeing Christ in them, and what will you find so insipid and flat? See
Christ there, and what you read becomes fragrant."
