Luke 24:27

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

When Jesus reappeared to his disciples following His resurrection, Jesus himself showed his disciples how to read the Scriptures, which was at that time, what we now call the Old Testament.

From the Torah, the account of creation, the Exodus, the Levitical laws, right through the Psalms and the ravings of wild prophets, there is one common thread – the revelation of Jesus.

Scripture is revelation of how God redeems humanity. Barely two chapters cover creation, and the rest of what we have is the beautiful story of salvation. The Bible itself prophetically speaks of putting our faith not in created things, but in the redemptive work of God!

One sure way of getting the most out of your devotions and reading – having your hearts burn with Godly fire and passion (v32) - is to ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate Christ to you in everything.

Prayer for this week: Father, thank you for your redeeming work. I want to know more about Jesus and how He has given me everything. No matter what happens, I can always rely on what was done for me at the cross.
