Gospel-Centered Reading of the Grand Narrative of the Bible
Steve McKinion

The Bible is a Book
The Bible is Intelligently Designed
Joshua 1:8“This book of the
law shall not depart from
your mouth, but you shall
meditate on it day and night...”
Psalm 1:2“And in His law he
meditates day and night..”
Garden To
Garden
Grand Inclusio
The Bible is Inspired
Not spiritualize,but spiritual eyes
Comprised of Two Parts
Old TestamentNew Testament
Luke 16:31 “But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to
Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if
someone rises from the dead.'”
Luke 24:27 “Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to
them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.”
John 21:31 “but these have been written so that you may
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have
life in His name.”
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 “For I delivered to you as of first
importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He
was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”
The Narrative is the Gospel of Jesus Christ
…according to the Prophets… according to the Apostles
Gen 1:1 – By means of the Son of God
Gen 3:15 – Blessing through the Son of Eve
Gen 15 – Blessing through the Son of Abraham
2 Sam 7 – Salvation through the Son of David
Ps 2 – Salvation through the Son of God
Faith in theSon who is to come
Mat 1:1 –Son of Abraham and David
Luke –Show that Jesus is the Son
John –Jesus is the Son of God
Col 1 – the Son of God
Faith in the Son who has come, and is
coming again
The Bible isn’t just history,it is His Story
Because the Bible reveals the Son, the Bible is the self-
revelation of God
Like the wise man in Joshua 1 and Psalm 1, we meditate on the Scriptures as the written
Gospel of Jesus Christ
The Grand Narrative is not a story about how to live, but a Story about how to have Life.
