How Do I Begin?

I have been contemplating for a while now just how exactly I wanted to start this off and I decided that I will begin by offering you the same challenge that I was presented with years ago. This challenge holds that we have in our possession a collection of 66 books, penned by 40 different authors over thousands of years, and yet it is an integrated message system, given to us through supernatural means by way of the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through God’s people. The Author has authenticated His message and demonstrated His mastery of time and space by writing out history for us in before it happens. It is in its total one book, devoted to one topic, that topic being of course Jesus Christ. It is ONE Book, and it is all about Him.

Jesus acknowledges this very idea while admonishing the Pharisees saying,

“You search the scriptures, for in them you think you have
eternal life, and these are they which speak of me.”

Again in Psalms and reiterated in Hebrews, the Holy Spirit through David speaks of Christ when he says,

“Lo I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me.”

This concept is also presented to us in Luke 24:27, when Christ is conversing with the two believers on the road to Emmaus after His resurrection. The Holy Spirit tells us that

“beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded
unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.”

So we know from Christ’s own words that ALL scriptures refer to Him. I will suggest to you that every book, every story, every word, every letter, every number, every place name, every detail mentioned and in some truly fascinating ways every detailed which is not mentioned, point to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is, without fail, on every page in scripture and it is our utmost privilege to know Him.

I would also like to remind you that Paul says in 2nd Timothy 3:16,

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”

What Paul is saying is that there are no wasted words. The Holy Spirit is both efficient and effective. If a word or detail is there, it is there by His design and points to something deeper.

Another verse worth remembering is Proverbs 25:2 which tells us that

“It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of Kings to search out a matter”

In other words, our Father through the Holy Spirit conceals treasures within the scriptures and it is our duty and privilege to search them out. This blog will be dedicated to revealing some of those treasures and it is my prayer that at some point someone will find its contents useful and above all else I hope that through the contents of these posts our Everlasting Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ WILL BE GLORIFIED!!! So, here goes nothing!
