The Things Concerning Him

"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."  Luke 24:27.  Jesus has risen from the dead.  Once again, He seeks to confirm the truthfulness of Himself that He is the Son of God.  That proof is established by Moses and the prophets.  Herein is the great profit of the Old Testament.  This word of inspiration pointed to the coming of a Redeemer.  Through Moses and all the prophets, Jesus was announced as the coming Messiah.  They proclaimed that Jesus would be a prophet that would deliver the people from the bondage of sin.  Through Jesus, God would establish a new covenant with those who would become the people of God from every nation.  Through Jesus, the house of God, the church, would be established.  Renewal, restoration, and revival would be the blessings that Jesus would bring.  The voice of Moses and the prophets was a call to repentance and belief in a Savior that would come into the world by a divine birth by a virgin.  Jesus would come to be the Christ, the Savior of humanity.
