Our world is in need of someone to come and
set things right. Dallas Willard, Philosopher
6
No theme is more central to the study of the
Bible than that of the messiah. Richard S.
Hess, Old Testament Scholar
7
Christ is the focal point of the entire Bible
from beginning to end. Hes the one to whom the
whole Old Testament points, the one on whom the
Gospels focus, the one at whom the rest of the
New Testament looks back. Kenneth Boa, Bible
Scholar
8
We need to exercise care in reading Christian
meanings back into the Old Testament, since there
is a long history of Christians discovering in
the ancient texts, by use of a variety of
enterprising tools, all sorts of spiritual
meanings which are almost certainly not there to
begin with. Michael P. V. Barrett, Old
Testament Theologian
9
God promised Abraham that he (or his seed)
would be used to become a blessing to all the
nations of the earth. Walter C. Kaiser, Old
Testament Theologian
10
The promise of Messiah was never a uniquely
Jewish promise. Gentile inclusion in the gospel
of Christ is a frequent theme of Old Testament
theology and revelation. Remember, Adam and Noah
and Abraham were not Jews. Michael P. V.
Barrett, Old Testament Theologian
11
The Old Testament story of Abraham and Gods
promise to him is rather like the first drawing
of a great artists, who has in mind a master
work. The pencil sketch is perfect in its own
right, yet the finished painting far surpasses
the original drawing in which the same hand can
be seen to have been at work. Joyce Baldwin,
Bible Scholar

To see the world in a grain of sand And heaven
in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of
your hand And eternity in an hour. William

If you belong to Christ, then you are
Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the
promise. Galatians 329 (TNIV)

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who
died? The prophets also died. Who do you claim to
be?" Jesus answered, " Your ancestor Abraham
rejoiced that he would see my day he saw it and
was glad." Then the Jews said to him, "You are
not yet fifty years old, and have you seen
Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I
tell you, before Abraham was, I am." So they
picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid
himself and went out of the temple. John
853-59 (NRSV)
28
"I know that you are Abraham's descendants
Lit., seed yet you seek to kill Me, because
My word has no place in you. John 837 (NASB)
29
The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his
seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds,"
meaning many people, but "and to your seed,"
meaning one person, who is Christ. Galatians
316 (TNIV)
30
If you belong to Christ, then you are
Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the
promise. Galatians 329 (TNIV)
