Listen from:
"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." Luke 24:2727And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27).
"Then He [Jesus] said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory?" Luke 24:25, 2625Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? (Luke 24:25‑26).
The glorious Person of our Lord Jesus Christ is the key to the Holy Scriptures. They all point to Him in one way or another. As Jehovah God in the Old Testament, He lovingly cares for His earthly people, Israel. He is the subject of types and the object of prophecies. He over-rules in the governments of men, and receives the worship of believers.
At Bethlehem, this glorious Son of God, member of the divine trinity, entered our world as the holy Son of Man—born of a virgin. Unrecognized by the majority of His earthly people, He showed His credentials as the true Messiah by perfectly fulfilling the prophetic Scriptures. Miracles of all kinds infallibly proved Him to be the Son of God with power, even to the raising of the dead.
He died on the cross as a sacrifice to God for guilty man. He was without sin, holy, spotless and pure. He suffered for the sins of believers of all ages, shedding His precious blood as the basis of every blessing for fallen humanity. He was raised from the dead by the glory of God, He ascended back to heaven physically, and sat down at the right hand of God the Father.
He is there today caring for every interest of His believing people still on the earth. He listens to their prayers, and receives their worship. Soon, He will call to heaven His redeemed ones, both the living and the dead who died in faith. The "church" is His bride—His companion to share His reign when He appears again to this world. Here He will reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords!
He shall be received by His earthly people, Israel, after great troubles have softened their hearts and made them willing, according to the Scriptures. This time is very near at hand. Yes, Bible history is His story!
"These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name." John 20:3131But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. (John 20:31).
