WONDERS OF GOD’S WORD (8)

"You search the SCRIPTURES, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which TESTIFY of ME” – John 5:39

The ultimate WONDER OF GOD’S WORD is its Central Message – JESUS CHRIST: "You search the SCRIPTURES, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which TESTIFY of ME” (Jh.5:39). All of Scriptures testify of and point to Him! The Main Theme of the Bible is God’s Revelation of Himself and His Will: His restoration of the world to His original design through Jesus Christ. The Central Message is Jesus Christ and what God has done, is doing, and will do for humanity through Him. The world is in a broken state because of humanity’s rejection of God and His plan. Jesus entered into a broken and hurting world to die and resurrect to restore humankind to God.

JESUS is the Central Figure and Focus of the Bible. The fulcrum of the Bible is the Kingdom of God; and Jesus, as the Son of God and as the King, is the Centre of it Message. The Bible gives Jesus Christ the Preeminent Place.
