Jesus Through Out Scripture

Who is Jesus? As we look at Isaiah 9:6 and see four titles and roles that our Lord Jesus carries out over the next four weeks here at Antioch. I want us to remember that Jesus is thought out the entirety of Scriptures and a “scarlet thread” of grace runs through out the totality of Scripture. So consider the themes of the sixty-six books:
