Beholding Jesus in Every Book
An important key in your study of God's Word is recognizing that there is a picture of Jesus in each book of the Bible, though His name does not appear in every book. Jesus is the "scarlet cord" of our redemption; He is the one through whom God the Father delivered our salvation.
This chart was adapted from a message ministered in a tent, many years ago, by Dr. Oral Roberts; the sermon was called "The Fourth Man".
"And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved." - Acts 4:12 (AMP)
