Take this Book and distill it into one word and that one word will be JESUS! The Bible itself, is but the body of Christ, and we may look upon all its pages as the swaddling bands of the infant Savior for if we unroll the Scripture, we come upon Jesus Christ Himself.
Where is Christ in your theological system? He Himself is the Doctor and Doctrine, the Revealer and Revelation, the Illuminator and the Light of men.
He is exalted in every word of truth, because He is its sum and substance. He sits above the gospel, like a prince on His own throne.
Doctrine is most precious, when we see it distilling from His lips and embodied in His person. Sermons are only valuable, in proportion as they speak of Him and point to Him!
[Charles H. Spurgeon]
Luke 24:27 … And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
John 5:39 … Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.❤
