Lesson 7: Christ as the Key
The Word of God in Its Fullness
Colossians 1:24-27¹
Prayer
Strengthen us in and through this lesson to commune with you in Christ as we learn to interpret the whole Bible with Christ as the key.
Primary Principle
The Bible demands that we interpret it with Christ as the key.
We will unpack this principle by focusing on three key phrases:
“The Bible demands...” - We will gather around Scripture to see how the Bible itself demands this interpretive principle.
“...Christ as the key” - We will explore the essence of this principle.
“...interpreting with...” - We will consider how this principle unlocks a lifetime of studying Scripture to see and to savor God’s glory in Christ.²
