Interpreting Scripture

Thinking about Colby's ongoing Covenant posts, I have learned something more than where to find the Mosaic covenant and its requirements, parties, promises, and so on. I learned that all of Scripture must be understood in light of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Isn't that what he teaches?

Luke 24:25-27

And he said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

Hebrews 1:1-3

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

It seems that as we move from the OT to the NT, God is continually speaking. In the OT, the revelation was incomplete and anticipatory. But now, in Christ, what the revelation pointed to, has reached its fulfillment in the complete and final revelation of the Son.

So it seems clear that Scripture, all of Scripture, points to Jesus. So the question becomes, How should we read the bible in a way that we can rightly interpret the text, not just in their immediate context, but also in a way that those texts find their terminus in Christ?
