AskFOI: Is Every Verse of the Bible Really About Jesus?

Should Christians read the Old Testament only through the lens of the New Testament? There’s a growing trend in Christian teaching that encourages believers to read the Bible backwards from the New Testament’s perspective and find Jesus in every verse of the Old Testament. While we affirm that all of Scripture ultimately points to Christ, learn why forcing Jesus into every passage can distort the meaning of the text and undermine the richness of God’s revelation. This conversation will help you grow in confidence as you study God’s Word carefully, consistently, and faithfully.
