In this episode, we address a question that many readers of the Bible eventually ask: Is the Bible just a collection of ancient religious writings thrown together, or is it one single, coherent story?

We dive into the "Big Picture" of Scripture, moving from the opening pages of Genesis to the final vision of Revelation. We discuss the four major movements that define our reality:

1. Creation: God makes a good world for His glory.
2. Fall: Humanity rebels, bringing a curse and death.
3. Redemption: God enters history to rescue His people.
4. New Creation: God restores all things.

The key takeaway? You cannot read any part of this story correctly unless you see how it connects to Jesus Christ. Whether it’s the Law, the Prophets, or the Psalms, Jesus Himself claimed to be the center of them all. We explore what it means for Christ to be our final Prophet, Priest, and King, and why any other "lens"—whether it's politics, self-help, or mere morality—causes the story to fall apart.

In this episode, we explore:

• The Road to Emmaus: Why Jesus rebuked His disciples for not seeing Him in the Old Testament.
• Orchestrated Diversity: How different writing styles (Law, Poetry, Wisdom) work like instruments in a single orchestra.
• Word and Deed: Why the Bible is God's own interpretation of His mighty acts in history.
• Answering the Hard Questions:
  • Is the Bible just a "patchwork" of conflicting views?
  • Why can't we just add "new chapters" or "new scriptures" today?
  • Is "Church Tradition" an equal authority to the written Word?
