“You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures points to Me! If you believed Moses, you would have believed Me because he wrote about Me.” – John 5:39, 46
From beginning to end the Scriptures tells the story of GOD who courts His people with love and compassion. The Story tells of a GOD who would send His only SON to suffer and die at the hands of the people He loves. For ages the Israelites have been expecting the Messiah that the Scriptures foretold.
JESUS was the Rock that provided water to the millions who thirst in the desert. JESUS was the Manna provided by the FATHER, the living Bread from heaven to nourish His people. JESUS was the Lampstand that provided light to the world. JESUS was the mercy seat that covered the Torah. JESUS was the innocent Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. The lamb was to be stretched on a cross and roasted whole with no bones broken. JESUS was the altar that provided water for the cleansing of all guilt of the priests. JESUS was the incense, the eternal intercessor who prays for us in heaven. Even the furniture in the Holy Place was arranged in a cross!
When we read the Scriptures, we need to open our eyes to the truth – GOD loves us with an everlasting love!
