NOTE.—When “the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us,” the
thought of God was revealed in human flesh. When holy men of God
“spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost,” the thought of God
was revealed in human language. The union of the divine and the
human in the manifestation of God’s thought in the flesh is
declared to be “the mystery of godliness;” and there is the same
mystery in the union of the divine thought and human language. The
two revelations of God, in human flesh and in human speech, are
both called the _Word of God_, and both are the _Word of life_. He
who fails to find Christ thus in the Scriptures will not be able
to feed upon the Word as the life-giving Word.
Like wandering sheep o’er mountains cold,
Since all have gone astray;
To life and peace within the fold,
How may I find the way?
To Christ the Way, the Truth, the Life,
I come, no more to roam;
He’ll guide me to my Father’s house,
To my eternal home.
Christ In All The Bible
[Illustration.]
On The Way To Emmaus. "He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the
things concerning Himself." Luke 24:27.
1. Of whom did Christ say the Scriptures testify?
“Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and
_they are they which testify of Me_.” John 5:39.
NOTE.—“Search the Old Testament Scriptures: for they are they that
testify of Christ. To find Him in them is the true and legitimate
end of their study. To be able to interpret them as He interpreted
them is the best result of all Biblical learning.”—_Dean Alford._
2. Of whom did Moses and the prophets write?
“Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom
Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, _Jesus of Nazareth_, the
son of Joseph.” John 1:45.
NOTE.—In her translation of the Old Testament Scriptures, Helen
Spurrell expressed the following wish for all who should read her
translation: “May very many exclaim, as the translator has often
done when studying numerous passages in the original, _I have
found the Messiah_!”
3. From whose words did Christ say the disciples ought to have learned of
His death and resurrection?
“O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that _the prophets_ have
spoken: ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into
His glory?” Luke 24:25, 26.
4. How did Christ make it clear to them that the Scriptures testify of
Him?
“And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, _He expounded unto them in
all the scriptures the things concerning Himself_.” Verse 27
5. What did He say a little later to the eleven?
“These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you,
that _all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of
Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Me_.” Verse 44.
