The Altogether Lovely One III: Seeing Scripture Christocentricly

If we are going to see growth in our Christian lives, we must learn to see Christ through the entirety of the Bible. When the New Testament was written, the writers constantly pointed back to the Old Testament to make Jesus known. When Paul tells the Corinthians that his only objective was to make Christ known, he was talking not just in his preaching and writing but also every aspect of his life. He was a man truly marked by his love for and preoccupation with the person of Jesus Christ. So how can we follow that example? How can we be a people so preoccupied with Jesus that he permeates every conversation, every thought, every action? We are fallen people who still struggle with sin, so this will be a battle. But we will be given every grace of God to fight the battle well. The entirety of Scripture is the best weapon and tool we have in this warfare. But this emphasis isn’t just for the individual Christian life. It is for the corporate life as well. How can a local expression of Christ’s bride have a preoccupation with our Redeemer? How can a pastor lead in such a way that his flock gazes upon Jesus every worship service? John and Jordan ask and seek to provide some answers to these questions in this week’s episode.
