Scripture & Christ

Scripture is God speaking to us; Scripture is God abstracting the world in order to teach us about the world. This is why Scripture is more like a poem, a song, or a novel, and less like a textbook. Scripture is more like an italicized word--carrying emphases and nuance--and less like a proper noun or another part of speech. In Scripture we see God isolating, enhancing, and highlighting elements of history. Why? Because Scripture is all about Jesus. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit the Father is telling the created world (God is telling us) about his son, the second person of the Trinity, who is the Lord Jesus Christ.Why? Because God loves the world (John 3:16), and this means that Scripture provides for Christians both true and enhanced knowledge of God and the world.
