All That The Prophets Have Spoken
April 6th, 2010 by J.W.M.
“From Jesus’ statements I make an inference and form a corollary: the whole Old Tsetament bears witness to Christ; and, the Old Testament does not bear witness only to Christ. Why this corollary? Because I agree with making an extensive inference from Luke 24:27 and 44 but hold than an intensive inference is illegitimate. What on earth does that mean? It means I think Jesus is teaching that all parts of the Old Testament testify of the Messiah in his suffering and glory, but I do not think Jesus is saying that every Old Testament passage/text bears witness to him.”
(Dale Ralph Davis, The Word Became Fresh, 134-135)
