A Poem, A Principle, and A Prayer Scott Pauley

When I was in college someone gave me a copy of an anonymous  poem about the Bible as God’s revelation of Himself. Today we begin a new podcast series called “Journey Through the Scripture.” My prayer is that we all will come to know the written Word in a greater way, and through this journey, we will come to know the Living Word more personally.

Bible study is not about knowing things; it is about knowing Christ. I thought you would like a copy of the poem for yourself. I hope it, and the daily studies, will be a blessing to you…

I see my Lord in the Bible,
Whenever I chance to look.
He is the theme of the Bible,
The center and heart of the Book.

He is the Rose of Sharon,
He is the lily fair,
Whenever I open the Bible
The Lord of the Bible is there.

He is in the book’s beginning,
He gave the earth its form,
He is the Ark of Safety
To bear the brunt of the storm.

The burning bush of the desert
Then the budding of Aaron’s Rod,
And whenever I open the Bible
I see the Son of God.

The Lamb upon Mount Moriah,
The ladder from earth to sky,
The scarlet cord in the window,
The serpent lifted high,
The smitten rock of the desert,
The shepherd with staff and crook,
It’s whenever I open the Bible,
I see my Lord in the Book.

He is the seed of the woman
The Saviour virgin-born,
He is the son of David,
Who men rejected with scorn.
The Lord of eternal Glory,
Whom John the apostle saw,
The light of the celestial city,
That lamb without spot or flaw.

The bridegroom coming at midnight,
For whom His people look.
Yes, thank God, whenever I open the Bible,
I SEE MY LORD IN THE BOOK!!!

Samson and The Sorek Valley

Mathematically, it is impossible that one man could fulfill so many unique prophecies, many of which were related to the actions of others toward him. How can you orchestrate your death in such a specific manner i.e. By crucifixion (not invented) between criminals, being given vinegar to drink while dying, being killed at the hands of the Gentiles, after being betrayed by your dear friend? These are a fraction of the hundreds of such prophecies Jesus fulfilled. It is only possible if that Man was the God-man - Jesus Christ. Our Approach The prophecies in our list are many of those connected to the circumstances, surroundings, characteristics, events, manners, and traits that the Lord Jesus fulfilled during His earthly ministry. It is by no means comprehensive but serves as a reference and devotional guide to those seeking the Lord Jesus. Types and figures have been omitted, for they are woven throughout the entirety of Scripture. Truly, every part of the Written Word points to the Word made flesh, Who dwelt among us (John 1:14). We trust this list of 55 prophecies about the first coming of Christ will serve to demonstrate the total confidence you can have that Jesus is the Messiah, the Redeemer, The Son of God.
