Jesus Christ is the Key that unlocks the Word of God



Jesus at the Center

Then they will look on Me whom they pierced. — Zechariah 12:10

Have you heard of the “Christocentric Principle” of biblical understanding? Simply put, it means that everything we know about God, angels, Satan, human hopes, and the whole universe is best understood when viewed in relationship to Jesus Christ. He is at the center.
Recently, I discovered that one of the less familiar Old Testament books, Zechariah, is one of the most Christocentric. This book is a good example because it speaks of Christ’s humanity (6:12), His humility (9:9), His betrayal (11:12), His deity (12:8), His crucifixion (12:10), His return (14:4), and His future reign (14:8-21).

One especially meaningful passage is Zechariah 12:10, which says, “Then they will look on Me whom they pierced.” The piercing refers to Israel’s historic rejection of Jesus as Messiah — resulting in His crucifixion. But this verse also predicts a future generation of Jews who will accept Him as their Messiah. At the second coming of Jesus, a remnant of Israel will recognize the crucified One and turn to Him in faith.


This marvelous book should encourage us to look for more Christ-centered truths — both in other parts of the Bible and in all of life. Keep Jesus in the middle of everything. Live a Christocentric life. — Dennis Fisher

Some have read God’s holy Book
But failed to see its glory;
That’s because they didn’t know
It’s really Jesus’ story. — Branon

Jesus Christ is the Key that unlocks the Word of God.


PRAISE GOD
BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
