The collector of this book believed that Jesus Christ is on every page because Jesus Christ is the Bible’s central character and theme. Some students of the Scripture have said that Christ is on every page of the Bible. The New Testament shows that Christ is the Creator, Sustainer, Provider, Savior, Lord, and Judge of the universe, that is not an exaggeration.
The Law of Moses. Genesis foretells the coming of Christ as the seed of woman (Genesis 3:15), the seed of Abraham (Genesis 12:3), and the descendant of Judah who would rule the nations (Genesis 49:10). Deuteronomy speaks of a Prophet who would be greater than Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15-18). And the Law was given to bring us to Christ (Galatians 3:23-24).
The Poetical Books. The poetry section contains numerous references to the coming Messiah. (See Psalm 8:4-6, 22; Psalm 110:1; and compare Hebrews 1:13; 2:6-8.)
The Prophets. The “former prophets†(Joshua through 2 Chronicles) tell of a kingdom to be fulfilled in the future reign of Christ. The “latter prophets†(Isaiah through Malachi) give details about His birth, ministry, death and second coming (Micah 5:2; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; 53:5-6).
The Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are biographical accounts of Jesus life.
