John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Isaiah and David, Jonah and Daniel, and all the rest of the Bible writers point us to Christ, some more, and some less. Thus, every time the Bible is opened in study, we must see Jesus as the focal point, and if this is done continuously, many things that seem to be murky, and riddled with dark sentences would be made very plain.
Almost all of what Moses wrote was about Christ, in some form or fashion and even though Jesus wasn’t mentioned by name, He is present all over Moses’ writings. In fact, our opening passage which says “Lo I come in the volume of the book it is written of me” is a reference to the Pentateuch which contains tons of information about Christ.
The Manna pointed to Christ, the uplifted serpent pointed to Christ, Joshua pointed to Christ, the sheep and sacrificial offerings pointed to Christ, Aaron also pointed to Christ, the stone which David used in his sling pointed to Christ, and even the goat offering on the day of Atonement, pointed to Christ. In fact, from Genesis to Revelation it’s Jesus from beginning to end.
John 8: 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
