The Central Thrust

...when we interpret the Old Testament correctly, without allegory or artificial manipulation but in accordance with Jesus’s own teaching, the central message on every page is Christ. That does not mean that every verse taken by itself contains a hidden allusion to Christ, but that the central thrust of every passage leads us in some way to the central message of the gospel.
