Most of the New Testament

2007-03-21 16:15:28 · answer #1 · answered by Justsyd 7 · 1 3

As many who have answered already indicated, the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation speaks about Jesus Christ. The word "Christ" comes from the Greek "Christos" a word used to translate the Hebrew word Messiah. Predictions concerning the coming of the Messiah begin in Genesis 3:15 and continue throughout each book of the Old Testament. The places Christ is spoken of number in the hundreds.

In the New Testament, His name is Jesus. Jesus comes from the hebrew word meaning Savior. You already mentioned that He is spoken of in the Gospels. The book of Acts begins by saying that Luke had written the Gospel about what Jesus began to do and to teach up until His resurrection from the dead, and now he was writing what Jesus did and taught after His resurrection. Chapter 1 of Acts then tells about Jesus' meeting with His disciples and His ascending into heaven. The rest of Acts tells about how Jesus worked through the Apostles and the things that were done in His name and power, with one or two places where He actually appears and speaks.

The Epistles are filled with teachings about Jesus and from Jesus as recorded by those who knew Him. The book of Hebrews in particular focuses on Jesus completely, showing how the Old Testament had spoken about Him, and revealing more about who He was and is.

Finally, in the book of Revelation, Jesus appears to John, speaks to Him, then both shows and tells more about what He had done, is doing, and will do in the future, right up until He comes back, destroys the present world, and creates the new heavens and earth. So, as you can see, the whole Bible is about Jesus the Christ, from Jesus the Christ, and reveals Jesus the Christ.

Everywhere. The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed. Jesus is spoken of in promise throughout the OT. He is also spoken of in the other books of the new testament, not just the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). The entire bible points to Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is mentioned in some form in every book of the Bible. All the New Testament books refer to Him directly, and in the Old Testament He is refered to in various ways. In some books it can be harder to see than in others.

Take your pick. In Acts, the apostles went out in Jesus' name teaching and preaching the good news of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. In Romans,...Paul spends a great deal of time presenting the case of Christ to the Roman believers. In the rest of Paul's letters to the churchs ( Galatia, Corinth, Ephesus, Philippi etc) Pauls teach the gospel message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The good news wasn't only that Jesus lived, but that he was crucified and bore the Sin of mankind on himself, so that all could come to the Father directly for salvation.

In the Old testament, there are countless prophecies of the coming of Jesus. Look at Isaiah 9:6 for instance. It's not only a direct prophecy of the child of Christ coming, but that the WORLD government shall be on His shoulders one day!

In fact, you can learn all about Jesus from Page one to the last page of the bible. However, it is best that to read the New Testament first. Once you are familiar with Him, then read the Old Testament. A lot of time they are making reference to Jesus.

For example, the sacrifice ritual in old testament. Think Jesus as the sacrifice lamb. That the blood of the lamb is his blood to cleanse us from sin. Before sacrifice, the man will lay his hand on the lamb head. This signifies the transfer of the righteousness and pureness of the lamb to the man and the transfer of man's sins to the lamb. This signify Jesus who died on the cross with all our sins and we in turn has his righteousness. God turn his back on him so that he can face us and shine upon us. Think this. The old testament is like a dictionary of the new testament. What is mention in brief in new, you will find the detail in old. Hope that helps.

From the getgo!
From *Genesis chapter1 verse1* to *Revelations chapter22 verse21*
*He is the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End*


John

Chapter 1

The Word Became Flesh

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood* it.

6 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.*

10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God– 13 children born not of natural descent,* nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,* who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

15 John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ” 16 From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only,*,*who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

Sharls, now do you understand that wherever you see the word God, this too is talking about Jesus .
It is a huge revelation when you do.
Have a blessed day.

Jesus was prophesied all though out The Old Testament. But as far as his time on earth, I think only in the Gospels.

Their are refrences to Jesus in many books of the bible, one just has to dig for them, just because it doesn't use the word Jesus it doesn't mean it's not related to or refering to him. For example in the book of Exodus God tells the egyptians that he will kill the first born of all things, unless he sees the blood on the house, and if he sees the blood on the househe will pass over them because they have proven who they are ( meaning his followers) That verse is related to Jesus in the fact that he shed his blood for us, and one day God will call our names, and if we have excepted Jesus we will be covered in his blood and be granted eternal life in heaven, but if we have rejected Jesus his blood will not be our covering and we will be banished from heaven to spend eternity in a devils hell.

it starts in the book of Genesis and runs through out every book of the Bible, from the beginning and to the end. The Messiah is spoken of in every book of the old and new testament.
