“Every aspect of Jesus’ life rings with poetic perfection. As the Lamb of God, he gives the sacrifice needed for atonement. As the Messiah, he assumes his rightful throne. As the Suffering Servant, he bears humanity’s sins. As the Divine Word incarnate, he reveals God’s glory (John 1:14). Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and exaltation ground the story of the biblical hymn.
Jesus is the turning point of history, the focus of Scripture, and, in a real sense, the culmination of the Old Testament story. All refrains lead back to Christ, the divine hero of Scripture’s universal song.”
