Jesus in All 66 Books of the Bible

September 12, 2014 4 min read

From Genesis to Revelation, every book of the Bible reveals Jesus Christ.
"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself." - Luke 24:27

The entire Bible is about Jesus Christ. The Old Testament anticipates Him, the Gospels reveal Him, Acts proclaims Him, the Epistles explain Him, and Revelation exalts Him. Every book contributes to the portrait of our Savior.

The Unified Message

Jesus Christ is the central theme of Scripture. The Bible is not merely a collection of stories, moral teachings, prophecies, and inspirational sayings; it is the revelation of Jesus Christ. God has given us a written portrait of His Son, and this portrait fills the entire Bible from beginning to end.

"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." - John 5:39
