Character Study

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.- John 5:46 (ASV)

Jesus shared that the Scriptures spoke of Him (John 5:39, 46).  He spent a lot of time, according to John’s account of the Gospels, dealing with people’s belief or unbelief.  In fact, John pointed out such when he completed his writing of the Gospel by sharing that what was recorded was written so that men would believe in Jesus Christ as the Savior, the only begotten son of God.

The point of all Bible study is simply a study of Jesus Himself.  The Old Testament tells of His eventual coming, pointing out man’s need for the perfect sacrifice that came about by the Lamb of God.  The Gospels told of His earthly life and ministry, including His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection.  Acts and the epistles point out what we should do as believers until He returns.  Revelation reveals the Second Coming nd all that must transpire at the end of the world when Jesus comes to reclaim His bride, the body of Christ, the Christian church.  It all speaks about Him.  The Bible is one large character study of Jesus Christ.
