THE GOSPEL TRUTH ny they sealed in their own blood. The problem here is not the Scriptures; it is the anti-supernatural assumptions of the so-called Bible scholars. JESUS AND THE BIBLE Jesus believed the Scriptures to be the Word of God. When the devil came to tempt Him to abandon His mission and to seek personal power and glory, Jesus quoted Scripture (Matthew 4:1-10). One passage He quoted speaks directly about His total reliance upon Scripture: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4, quoting Deuteronomy 8:3). After He rose from the dead, Jesus confirmed that Moses was the writer of the first books of the law, and that the prophets spoke for God. “And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself” (Luke 24:27; John 5:46-47). In John 10:35, Jesus declared that “the Scripture cannot be broken.” In Luke 16:17, He stated, “It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.” Jesus believed every word of the Old Testament, even the miracles. In Luke 17:29, He talked about the supernatural judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah, where Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt. In John 6:32, He spoke of the miracle of the manna from heaven, which fed the Israelites for forty years in the wilderness. In John 3:14, He recalled how those who had been bitten by snakes were cured instantly when they looked 85
THE DA VINCI MYTH VS THE GOSPEL TRUTH on Moses’ brass serpent. In Matthew 12:39-40, He likened His death and resurrection to the miracle of Jonah being swallowed by a big fish for three days. Theologian and author John R. W. Stott says Jesus’ view of Scripture is the ultimate apologetic for its veracity. He writes: The overriding reason for accepting the divine inspiration and authority of Scripture is plain loyalty to Jesus . . . . If Jesus endorsed the Old Testament, setting upon it the stamp of his own approval, he also foresaw the writing of the Scriptures of the New Testament, parallel to the Scriptures of the Old Testament. Indeed, he not only foresaw it, he actually intended it, and he deliberately made provision for it by appointing and authorizing his apostles. 93 Stott’s argument is not circular, but linear. 94 He begins by assuming nothing. As he reads the historical first-century eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the Gospels, he sees that Jesus held the Old Testament to be the Word of God, and that He clearly predicted and made provision for the New Testament. Stott sums up: The argument is easy to grasp, and we think impossible to refute. It concerns the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. He endorsed the Old Testament Scriptures. He made provision for the writing of the New Testament Scriptures. 95 Furthermore, we believe Jesus because He rose from the dead—thus giving veracity to all His other claims, including that of the Scriptures being the Word of God. 86
