Road Map to Jesus
What does Scripture show us about Jesus? In Road Map to Jesus, Alistair Chalmers takes us on a trip through beloved Biblical texts to show us the Savior.
In less than 200 pages and 36 short chapters, this book introduces you to passages that point us to Jesus. The book features many verses from the Old Testament, but also takes us through the New Testament. It is an encouraging read, and an enjoyable way to jump into the Biblical text and experience it as a whole.
The Ultimate Blessing to the World
The book is divided into three parts. Part 1: A Pathway Through the Old Testament, shows how Christ is related to concepts such as sin and judgment, while also revealing him as the Passover Lamb and the Kinsman Redeemer. Part 2: The Signposts Point Here, showcases the life and work of Jesus, culminating in his cross and resurrection. Part 3: The Journey Continues, challenges us to spread the Gospel and to look towards Heaven.
I was most moved to see how Jesus is the ultimate blessing to the world. While the nation of Israel might have fallen short, the birth of Jesus is a fulfillment of the promise. Our relationship with God can be restored. “In Jesus, Christians have received the biggest blessing possible.”
Open Your Eyes
I was most challenged and encouraged to see that God does not waste anyone’s time when we make attempts at sharing the Gospel. People rejected the message in Isaiah’s time, and people rejected Jesus even while he was here on the earth. Our job is to trust and obey while sharing the message, believing that God will give the growth.
This book is an excellent look at the big themes of the Bible and the grand story of redemption. It will give you an overview of the Bible’s narrative as a whole, while making sure you don’t miss the main point of Jesus. You will feel like you are on the Emmaus road, having your eyes opened and your heart burning within.
