Summary by Darrin Koehler

Continued from Epic 11…

Galatians 4:4
But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.

Matthew 5:17
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Luke 24:25
He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

All of Scripture is about Jesus, all the way from Genesis to Revelation. When John writes that Jesus Himself “was the word” (John 1:1), he was being quite literal. All of Scripture is is about Jesus in one of four ways:

Predicting the work of Christ. (Prophecies that specifically refer to Jesus.)
Preparing for the work of Christ. (passover and the atonement rituals, which foreshadow his atonement.)
Revealing the work of Christ. (The Gospels, which reveal Jesus as the predicted one.)
Reflecting on the work of Christ. (The epistles, which apply the Gospel.)
