Luke chapter 24 verses 24 through 27.

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but

him they did not see.

And he said to them, O foolish ones and slow of heart to believe all of the prophets have spoken. Was it not necessary that the Christ

should suffer these things and enter into his glory? And beginning with

Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things

concerning himself.

I love this conversation on the Emmaus road with these men who are unknowingly talking with Jesus about Jesus.

And in verse 27, this is such an important verse for understanding the entire Bible.

When Jesus started with Moses and all the prophets and he interpreted to them and all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

The things about Jesus is what Moses and all the prophets were writing about that they were talking they were writing about me.

Jesus says although they don't realize this is Jesus at that point. This is the beauty of the Bible.

Oh, there's so many things that make the Bible glorious as the word of God, but one of those things is the unity of the Bible.

How it all points to Jesus, all of it from beginning to end and everywhere in between this book written over

multiple centuries by multiple authors, that is, inspired by one divine author to give one

overarching plot story and not just overarching, but every single detail like we've seen in so many

of these different passages in the Advent season they're all pointing forward to

one man or pointing back to one man who who he is, Jesus' life, his death, his resurrection, the whole

Bible is about him.

He's not just the center of the Bible. He's the center of history. He's the center of the world.

Everything, everything revolves around Jesus on the landscape of human history.
