A Biblical World View: Luke 24:44-45
“44) Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45) Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,” Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭44‬-‭45‬ ‭
Jesus again points to the essential foundation of the Word of God. This time He adds the words He spoke and taught during His public ministry. Later, they were recorded and written down as the four Gospels.
In this short exchange, Jesus endorsed the three sections of the Old Testament. They were commonly refered to as the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms.
Establishing the cannon and trustworthiness of the rest of the New Testament is another exciting venture. For example, in 2 Peter 3:14-16, Peter categorized tbe writings of Paul as Scripture.
The Bible, both Old and New Testaments comprise the inspired word of God. We need to establish our faith and doctrine on the study of the full Scriptures.
From beginning to end, the Bible points to Jesus Christ. It talks about His divine birth, public ministry, signs and wonders, betrayal, death, burial, resurrection and ascension. It also unpacks the mystery of the church age, the ministry of the Holy Spirit and His promised Second coming.
In these two short verses, Jesus called His followers to accept and stand on the Word of God. This results in what is commonly called “a biblical world view.” The entirety of the Bible is truth.
It stands in stark contrast to other religious writings and human philosophies. It has been proven over and over again by history and archaeology. It has endured the test of time and the scrutiny of many critics. The Bible is the proven Word of God.
