The Old Testament Is Accredited by Christ

And let the fact be kept plainly in view that our acceptance of the Old Testament as a divine revelation is based upon the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. “The fact,” I say, because it is not disputed that He so regarded the Hebrew Scriptures. This is admitted by the Higher Critics, but they put forward their kenosis theories in order to evade the force of the admission. Such theories, however, are but dust thrown in the eyes of the thoughtless. For they ignore the fact that the Lord’s plainest teaching on this idles was not during the t alter His resurrection, when He spoke in all the fulness of divine know dge. “Beginning from Moses” (we read) “and from all the prophets, He interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.” And again: “He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I

, was yet with you, that all things must be

fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the

scriptures.”
