  1. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures

  2. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures • The Bible is a book no one can ignore. • It claims to be the Word of God, a revelation from the Almighty Creator, the Key to the mysteries of the Universe, the Owner’s Manual to guide our lives. • By following it – we please God and be rewarded with eternal life with Him, • By rejecting it we condemn ourselves to eternal condemnation.

  3. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures • We are not going to appeal to the judgment of a renowned scholar, nor a great historian, nor an author of volumes or of any written text outside the NT. • We will only appeal to the most well-known and greatest person who ever lived on this earth. • Jesus Christ the Son of God!

  6. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures They Are From God Matthew 5:17-18 (NKJV) 17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets.

  7. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures They Are From God • One jot - is the name of the Hebrew letter I, the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. • One tittle - The Hebrew letters were written with small points or apices, (as in the letter Shinשׁ‎or Sin - ‏שׂ‎) • Jesus considered the scriptures inspired down even to the smallest “jot” and the “tittle.”

  8. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures They Are From God Matthew 22:29-32 (NKJV) 29 Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

  9. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures They Are From God • Matthew 22:29-32 (NKJV) 32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

  10. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures They Are ALL True • Many want their Bible like their religion - “cafeteria style.” • Far too many want to pick and choose what they want in the Bible and leave the rest. • Many people claim to accept Jesus, but reject the Bible –

If one accepts Christ, they must accept all of the Bible.

  13. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures Were Fulfilled In Him Luke 24:25-27 (NKJV) 25 Then He said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?" 27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

  17. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures Our Sole Authority • All to be followed as given: Matthew 23:23 (NKJV) 23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

  18. What Jesus Thought of the Scriptures To Be Relied Upon • Three times Satan tried to tempt him, each time the Lord replied, “It is written…” (Mt. 4:1-10) • (4) - 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' " - Quoting Deut. 8:3 • (7) - 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.' " Quoting Deut 6:16 • (10) - You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.' " Quoting Deut 6:13

It is from Him and it is His authority.

  27. 2 Peter 1:12-21 (NKJV) 12 For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. 13 Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,14 knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

  28. 2 Peter 1:12-21 (NKJV) 15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease. 16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

  29. 2 Peter 1:12-21 (NKJV) 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

  30. 2 Peter 1:12-21 (NKJV) 19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,

  31. 2 Peter 1:12-21 (NKJV) 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
