Listen from:
A friend of mine was walking with a small boy across the park. “Do you go to Sunday school?” he asked.
“Yes,” replied the little fellow.
“What did your teacher talk about last Sunday afternoon?”
“Oh, he was talking about Jacob.” “And what did he talk about the Sunday before that?”
“Oh, he talked about prayer.” “Well, did your teacher not talk about Jesus?”
“Oh, no,” said the little fellow again, “that’s at the other end of the Book.”
Now I hold that Jesus is not only at the other end of the Book, but He is at the beginning of the Book, and all through the Book. Every chapter, every verse, and every incident may somehow lead to Jesus.
“Beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He [Jesus] 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).
