Can I Trust the Bible part two notes

Hey Clear Spring kids,

Here’s the notes from the Wednesday Night lesson on 9-14-11

How Is Jesus the Hero of the Bible?

• As Scripture opens, it immediately reveals its hero
• Jesus fully believed and affirmed that the OT was about him
• John 5: 39, 40
• Luke 24: 27; 44, 45
• Jesus came to fulfill the OT – Matthew 5: 17, 18
• Jesus claimed to fulfill the OT – Matthew 26: 56; Luke 4: 20, 21; 22: 37
• When Scripture is rightly interpreted, it is ultimately about Jesus as God, our Savior, the object of our faith, forgiver of our sins, and giver of eternal life. Therefore, to correctly interpret Scripture you will need to connect its verses, concepts, and events to Jesus
