About this ebook
Where is Jesus hidden in the pages of Scripture? The Bible tells the greatest story ever written—a sweeping drama of creation, fall, redemption, and new creation. From Genesis to Revelation, the storyline bends around this fourfold arc. Every story, every character, every setting, every conflict belongs to real history. These events are not myths; they truly happened.
The theme verse for this book is Luke 24:27: “And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” At Emmaus, Jesus broke bread with his disciples, and in that moment their eyes were opened. As soon as they recognized him, he vanished. Why? Because they had not yet grasped how the Old Testament spoke of a Messiah who must suffer. Jesus grounded their faith in the Scriptures themselves, not in the fleeting sight of his risen body.
This book is written to help people read the Bible with Jesus as the interpretive key—the one who unlocks the mystery of the Old Testament and reveals its true focus.
