Among His Verses | Finding Jesus in Every Chapter of the Bible

Exodus 31 Reveals Jesus: The Spirit, the Craftsman, and the True Sabbath Exodus 31 may seem like a pause in the Tabernacle instructions—but it is not a pause. It is a revelation. After the blueprints of the Ark in Exodus 25 , the Tabernacle structure in Exodus 26 , the altar and courtyard in Exodus 27 , the priesthood in Exodus 28 , the consecration in Exodus 29 , and the intercession and anointing in Exodus 30 , God now reveals something profound: The work must be done by someone filled with His Spirit. And this points directly to Jesus Christ. Bezalel — A Shadow of the Spirit-Anointed One God calls Bezalel by name and says He has filled him with the Spirit of God—wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill. This is the first time in Scripture someone is explicitly said to be filled with the Spirit. That is not random. Bezalel was chosen to construct the dwelling place of God. Jesus is the greater fulfillment. Bezalel built a temporary Tabernacle. Jesus builds the eternal dwelling of ...

Exodus 30 Reveals Jesus: The Fragrance of Christ in the Tabernacle Exodus 30 is not just instructions about incense and oil. It is about Jesus Christ —our intercessor, our ransom, our cleansing, and our anointing. If you’ve read Exodus 25 , Exodus 26 ,   Exodus 27 ,   Exodus 28 , and Exodus 29 , you’ve already seen the Tabernacle forming piece by piece. Now in Exodus 30, the focus shifts to something deeper: access, prayer, and atonement —all fulfilled in Christ. Let’s break it down. The Altar of Incense — Jesus Our Intercessor The golden altar of incense stood before the veil, right outside the Holy of Holies. Every morning and evening, sweet incense burned continually before the Lord. This wasn’t random fragrance. It symbolized prayer ascending to God . In the New Testament, Jesus becomes the ultimate fulfillment of this altar. He is our High Priest who continually intercedes for us. The incense rising upward mirrors Christ’s ongoing intercession before the Father....

Exodus 6: “I Am the LORD” — The Name That Becomes Flesh Exodus 6 is not a transition chapter. It is a revelation of Jesus. After the rejection of the deliverer in Exodus 5 — where Pharaoh hardened his heart , Moses is discouraged. Israel is crushed. The promises feel distant. And then God speaks. “I am the LORD.” In Hebrew: YHWH . The covenant name. The self-existent One. But this name is not fully understood until John 8 — when Jesus declares: “Before Abraham was, I AM.” Exodus 6 is where the name becomes personal. And one day, that Name will become flesh. The Seven “I Will” Promises — Fulfilled in Christ In Exodus 6:6–8, God gives seven promises: I will bring you out I will rescue you I will redeem you I will take you as My people I will be your God I will bring you into the land I will give it to you This is not just about Israel leaving Egypt. This is the gospel in shadow form. Jesus fulfills every “I will”: He brings us out of sin. He rescues us from bondage. He redeems us by His ...

📖 Exodus 4: The Reluctant Deliverer and the Greater Christ Exodus 4 is not about Moses’ weakness. It is about Christ’s sufficiency. In Exodus 3 ,God revealed His divine name — I AM . Now in Exodus 4, Moses hesitates. “What if they don’t believe me?” It’s the cry of every human heart called by God. But watch carefully — because every sign given to Moses whispers the name of Jesus. The Staff That Becomes a Serpent God tells Moses to throw down his staff. It becomes a serpent. Then God commands him to grab it by the tail — and it becomes a staff again. This is more than a miracle. The serpent represents authority and power in Egypt. God shows that His authority swallows Egypt’s authority. But deeper still — it foreshadows Christ. At the cross, Jesus would confront the ancient serpent. He would allow Himself to be lifted up — just like the bronze serpent later in the wilderness — and through that lifting, crush the enemy. The staff becomes a weapon of judgment. The cross becomes the instr...

Genesis 33 – Jesus, the Face of Grace and Reconciliation Genesis 33 is not simply the reunion of two brothers. It is a revelation of Jesus Christ as the face of grace that meets us after repentance . Jacob approaches Esau expecting judgment. He bows low, preparing for rejection. This is the posture of every sinner who has wrestled with God and now stands exposed. But instead of wrath, Jacob is met with mercy. This moment points directly to Christ—the One who stands between guilt and forgiveness. When Esau runs to embrace Jacob, we see a shadow of the gospel. The one who had the right to repay instead chooses compassion. Jesus does the same for us. Though He is the rightful Judge, He runs toward the repentant heart with open arms. Jacob’s words reveal the deeper truth: “To see your face is like seeing the face of God.” This is not accidental. Scripture teaches that no one can see God and live—yet in Jesus, we behold God’s grace without fear. Christ is the visible face of the invisible ...
