A recorded walk-through of this lesson.
How the whole Bible, Old and New Testament alike, points toward and is fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
Not an addition, a reading
To read Christ in the whole of Scripture is not to add something foreign to the text. It is to read the text the way its first Christian readers, and Jesus himself, did.
Read the Scriptures
Luke 24:272 Timothy 3:14-17John 5:39
From the Prayer Book
Collect for the Second Sunday of Advent
“Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them.”

Discussion Questions
- Where have you seen Christ 'hidden' in an Old Testament passage before?
- Why does it matter that Jesus himself read the Scriptures this way?
