Death & Resurrection Pt. 1 - Luke 24

[Verse 1]
Dude you should be floored by Luke 24
After being resurrected from the tomb to restore
Everyone Jesus was crucified for
As He speaks to His disciples hear rebukes from our Lord
(He reproved them? What for?)
For not believing that the Old Testament had this very truth at its core
The only proof that is sure
The OT's about His Death and Resurrection so you can’t ignore
Hear the Son of God as I quote Him
(O foolish ones to not believe all that the Prophets have spoken) (Luke 24:25)
Then their noggins were opened (v. 45)
As He exegeted the Scriptures which can’t be possibly broken (John 10:35)
See all the Law of Moses the Psalms and the Prophets (Luke 24:44) are really all about the Son of God in their topics
So the 3 main Old Testament sections are really all about Christ’s Death and Resurrection (v. 46)
And the Gospel proclamation all across the nations (v. 47)
Well this might seem like such a lofty statement
Did He read Himself into the text?
No sirs
The Old Testament's about Him on its own terms
So go learn and so turn
Until like His disciples your hearts and your souls burn (v. 32)
And if you happen to ask the question it doesn’t just become about Him after the Resurrection

[Hook]
Christ’s Death and Resurrection is
The main theme of the whole Old Testament
Yo go check the Scripts (X2)
Luke 24:44b all the Scriptures point to Christ the Lord of glory

[Sample]
(The whole Bible finds its fulfillment in Jesus)

[Verse 2]
Don’t get too bored with this
But let’s do some exegesis of Luke 24:46
When Jesus says (thus it is written)
That He should be crushed and afflicted then justly be risen
Is He just pointing to a couple of a Scriptures we call Messianic that give us a prediction?
Like Isaiah chapter 53 and perhaps Psalm 22 and Psalm 16 specifically?
If you’re thinking He
Only means these and not the whole Old Testament then I disagree
And this is clear in a couple of ways first we see this from the word (thus) in our phrase
Don’t be embarrassed by assumption
But the word thus is (houtōs) a comparative conjunction
Giving emphasis to His grammar
Houtōs means (in this way) or (in this manner)
And it is written means: Scripture it speaks
So now let’s reword the verse literally
In this way Scripture's written
That the Christ must suffer then on the third day be risen
So Jesus wasn’t just quoting a verse but rather He was laying out the main theme of the whole of the Word
Messiah’s so stressing this
His Death and Resurrection summarizes the entire Old Testament

[Verse 3]
There’s a plethora of reasons from the text with exegesis
That Scripture has a Death and Resurrection thesis
Like many other Scripture texts and their agreement:
1 Peter 1:10–12 it’s precious read it
It’s very clear and precise
All the Old Testament prophets spoke by the Spirit of Christ
So Jesus ain’t just the Subject but the Author of God’s Word so His interpretation is proper
And what was the subject of His message?
Verse 11 says the Son’s Death and Resurrection
Cause the whole Bible they summed up the story
The sufferings of Christ and His subsequent glory
It’s the theme they were announcing
Jesus condemned Jews for not believing it’s about Him
In John He spoke with potency
Notice He said in John 5:46 (Moses wrote of Me)
And Abraham rejoiced to see My day (John 8:56)
Isaiah saw His glory in Jesus’ face (John 12:41)
Some will persecute this
But we’ll interpret the Old Testament with Jesus’ hermeneutics
Both testaments’ messages perfectly one
What’s the Old Testament’s word as a sum?
God’s gospel promised beforehand through His prophets in holy Scripture concerning His Son (Rom. 1:2–3a)
His Death and Resurrection's according to the Scriptures (1 Cor. 15:3–4)
Speaking of the OT
Surely it predicts this
But it more than just prefigures
It's progressive movement of redemptive events paints the portrait and depiction
So just Grammatical-Historical is actually deplorable
If it doesn’t point to Him whose majesty’s adorable
But if you ain't convinced and you’re thinking I rambled
This whole album gives you specific examples that ...

[Outro]
According to the Scriptures Christ died in our stead
It’s according to the Scriptures that He’d rise from the dead
