The Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible

After His death, burial and resurrection our Lord Jesus Christ spoke to the two friends walking to Emmaus, “And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.” (Lk. 24:27) The Lord also spoke to His disciples in Jerusalem. “Then He said to them, ‘These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.’ And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.” (Lk. 24:44-45)

There is a scarlet thread running throughout the Old Testament telling of a coming Messiah who would deliver His people from their sins. This is the Lord Jesus Christ (Yahweh Yahshua ha Messiah). From the time of His birth to His ascension into heaven (as recorded in the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), we see the fulfillment of these prophecies. From the book of Acts to Revelation, we continue to see the Lord Jesus Christ with all of His glorious attributes beautifully interwoven into the passages of Scripture.
