Everything Written About Me in…

Luke 24:44

About the Sermon

What was in Jesus’ Bible? The good news is that all of the content in Jesus’ Bible is in our Old Testaments. But, surprise: the order is different. And the order matters for how well we read the story of the Old Testament and how clearly we see Christ there and ourselves in God’s plan today. In Luke 24:44, when Jesus said, “everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled” he referred to a technical three-part division to the Scripture he and every Jewish person grew up with at the time.

About the Series

Luke writes that we may be certain of the things that we have been taught. That is, confident in the good news about Jesus. Apparently some of the things we have been taught are so wonderful they are hard to believe. In his orderly account, Luke announces good news of great reversals in which God humbles the proud and exalts the humble. Peace with God through the forgiveness of sins really is available but on God’s terms. To show us how we must come to him, Luke introduces us to the characters Jesus lifted up and to the proud whom he brought low. In all this he compels us to humbly believe in the Son of the Most High God and to preach this good news of great joy to the end of the earth.
