This episode illuminates how the overarching narrative of Scripture—from creation to Christ—is a testament to God’s relentless pursuit of a relationship with humanity. It’s a powerful reminder of the hope and promise woven throughout the Bible, culminating in the birth of Jesus. Join us as we delve into these timeless truths and their significance for our lives today!

Key Themes include:

• The First Gospel (Protoevangelium): Genesis 3:15 introduces God’s redemptive plan, pointing directly to Jesus Christ as the ultimate victor over sin.
• God’s Promise to Abraham: Genesis 12:3 foretells a universal blessing through Abraham’s lineage. While unfulfilled for generations, Jesus’ birth brought this promise to fruition, extending salvation to all nations.
• Prophecy of Bethlehem: Micah 5:2 and the promise to King David in 2 Samuel 7:12-16 foreshadow Jesus’ lineage and His eternal kingship.
• Immanuel – God With Us: From Genesis to Exodus, the Tabernacle, the Temple, and finally the incarnation of Christ in Matthew 1:23, we see God’s continuous desire to dwell with His people. By the end of Matthew’s Gospel and in Acts, this presence evolves into God dwelling within us through the Holy Spirit.
• The Name of Jesus: Tracing its transition through Hebrew, Greek, and English, we unpack the name’s profound meaning—“Yahweh saves”—and how it encapsulates Jesus’ divine identity and mission.
