I have been having a discussion with a friend about Luke 24 & John 5 about whether we can truly say that these popular passages are actually a mandate to take every passage of Scripture to Christ. There aren't many, if any, commentaries that actually see these passages saying that all Scripture points to Christ. It has been an interesting discussion! I have grown up thinking that to do Biblical Theology correctly passages need to be applied to Christ before being applied to us - however is this the case?
I have been encouraged to think about 2Tim 2:16-17 which says:
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
The Scriptures that Paul is referring to is the OT. Paul thought it could be applied directly to us.
What are your thoughts? Can we apply the OT directly to us?
