Jesus on Every Page

Sometimes when we read from the Old Testament or hear a sermon on it, it feels like something is missing. Or rather: someone. Where is Jesus? In this book by David Murray, he reminds us that in some way or form Jesus is actually on every page of the Bible! In fact, Luke 24:27 says that "beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he [Jesus] interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself."

This book has two parts. The first answers the question about what and who the Old Testament is really all about, showing the answers given by Jesus himself, as well as the apostles Peter, Paul, and John. The second part takes us into a more in-depth look at where Jesus can be found in particular parts of the Old Testament such as creation, the covenants, the proverbs, and the poems. In the poems section, Murray writes that we sing to Jesus with the Psalms, sing of Jesus in the Psalms, and sing with Jesus in the Psalms. Sometimes it's a combination of those within one single psalm. With this in mind, singing the psalms becomes even more meaningful and joyful. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to see more of Jesus in their Old Testament reading. Learning more about Jesus will help us better love him, praise him, and serve him.
