Beginning At Moses

Then He said to them, O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory? And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. 

Luke 24:25-27 

Christ is in the Scriptures from the beginning to the end. After He elicited from the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, the account of His crucifixion and the reason for their sadness, He began to explain to them, ‘the things concerning Himself.’ He ‘began at Moses and all the Prophets.’ He expanded His exposition to include ‘all the Scriptures.’ Thus, Christ Himself demonstrated that He is everywhere in the Old Testament. It is important for us to be aware that He is, especially when we come to read the Old Testament. It was this body of literature from which all the Apostles preached Christ. The missionary work of Peter and Paul proceeded with the Old Testament as their authoritative text. They were only following the example of Christ. We have the Old Testament as well as the New. Putting Old and New together as the whole of God’s written revelation, we conclude from the example set by Christ and the Apostles that Christ is everywhere throughout. Our desire is to do as the Apostles did and ‘cease not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.’  

Our Glorious Living Christ, 
we rejoice that You are all throughout the Scriptures. 
We praise You that as we see You there, 
Your Holy Spirit draws our hearts out after You.
