“And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
— Acts 8:34
The Eunuch asks this question as they read Isaiah 53, one of the most profound and explicit messianic prophecies in the Old Testament. But we would do well to ask this question often as we read the scriptures. On the road to Emmaus our Lord calls his own disciples fools and slow of heart for not recognizing his true mission in the prophets of old. “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” — Luke 25-27
Where did Moses and the Prophets speak of Jesus? Genesis 3:15, Genesis 49:10-11, Deuteronomy 18:18-19, Numbers 24:17-19, Leviticus 16:7-9, Psalm 16:10, Psalm 34:20 to name only a few.
In every passage of scripture ask yourself what God is revealing to us concerning himself and you will not be taken in by false teaching.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
— 2nd Timothy 3:16
