The Focal
Point
Taken from “Hope for
Each Day” devotionals by Billy Graham
The central message of the Bible is Jesus Christ.
In Genesis, Jesus is the Seed of the Woman. In Exodus, He is
the Passover Lamb. In Leviticus, He is the atoning Sacrifice. In Numbers, the Smitten
Rock. In Deuteronomy, the Prophet. In Joshua, the Captain of the Lord’s hosts.
In Judges, the Deliverer. In Ruth, the Heavenly Kinsman. In the six books of
Kings, the Promised King. In Nehemiah, the Restorer of the nation. In Esther,
the Advocate. In Job, my Redeemer. In Psalms, my Strength. In Proverbs, my
Pattern. In Ecclesiastes, my Goal. In the Song of Solomon, my Satisfier. In the
prophets, the coming Prince of Peace. In the gospels, He is the Christ who came
to seek and to save. In Acts, He is the Christ risen. In the epistles, He is
Christ exalted. In Revelation, He is Christ returning and reigning.
The message of the Bible is the story of salvation through
Jesus – and the whole world needs to know this story. Whom have you told today?
**I thought this was a great explanation of how the story of Jesus has been weaved throughout the whole Bible and I wanted to share.**
