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

Leviticus 3 Reveals Jesus: The Peace Offering and the Fellowship of the Cross When you read Leviticus 3 , it may seem like another ancient ritual—but this chapter is entirely about Jesus Christ . Unlike the burnt offering in Leviticus 1 and the grain offering in Leviticus 2 , the peace offering is different. It is not primarily about atonement for sin. It is about fellowship . Communion. Shared peace between God and His people. And that is exactly what Jesus came to restore. The Peace Offering: A Prophetic Picture of Christ The Hebrew word for peace offering is “shelamim” —related to shalom . It means wholeness, completeness, harmony. This offering symbolized restored relationship. The worshiper, the priest, and God all shared in the sacrifice. This is not coincidence. At the cross, Jesus didn’t just forgive sin—He restored relationship between humanity and the Father. “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (...

Exodus 27 Explained: The Bronze Altar, The Cross, and Jesus Christ Revealed 🔥 Jesus in the Bronze Altar  In Exodus 27 , God gives instructions for the bronze altar, the courtyard, and the oil for the lamp. But if we read carefully, this chapter is not about furniture. It is about Jesus Christ . In Book of Exodus 25 and Book of Exodus 26 , we saw the Ark, the Table, the Lampstand, and the Tabernacle structure — all pointing to Christ’s divinity and glory. But now in chapter 27, we move outside. And the first thing we see… is blood. 🩸 The Bronze Altar — The Cross Before the Presence The altar was made of acacia wood overlaid with bronze. Wood represents humanity. Bronze symbolizes judgment. Jesus was fully man… yet He bore divine judgment. Before anyone could enter deeper into God’s presence, they had to pass the altar. There was no shortcut. No bypass. Just like today. No one comes to the Father except through Christ (John 14:6). The altar stands as a shado...

Exodus 17 Explained: The Rock Was Christ Exodus 17 is not just about thirst and war. It is about Jesus. Israel is in the wilderness again — thirsty, complaining, doubting. They ask, “Is the Lord among us or not?” (Ex. 17:7). But what they don’t realize is that the answer is standing in front of them in shadow form. This chapter reveals Christ in two stunning ways: The Rock that gives living water The Intercessor whose lifted hands secure victory Let’s see Him clearly. 1. The Rock in the Wilderness Was Christ The people are dying of thirst. They grumble against Moses. This echoes their complaints in Exodus 15 (bitter water at Marah) and the manna testing of Exodus 16 . (You can revisit those chapters on our Exodus hub to see the growing pattern of unbelief.) God tells Moses to strike the rock at Horeb. Water explodes from stone. But here’s the deeper truth: The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10:4: “They drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and t...

Exodus 5: When the World Says “No” to God — But Prepares the Way for Jesus Exodus 5 is not about Pharaoh. It’s about Jesus being rejected before He ever arrives. Moses and Aaron walk into Pharaoh’s court with a simple message: “Thus says the Lord, Israel is My son… let My son go.” ( Exodus 4 :22–23) If you missed that, go back and read Exodus 4 — where God calls Israel His firstborn son.  That title belongs fully to Christ. Now watch what happens. Pharaoh responds: “Who is the LORD, that I should obey His voice?” That question echoes through history. Who is the Lord? It is the same question asked when Jesus stood before rulers. The same rejection. The same hardened heart. In Exodus 3 — the burning bush encounter , God revealed His name: I AM. In John 8, Jesus says: “Before Abraham was, I AM.” Pharaoh rejects I AM. Jerusalem would too. The Hidden Christ in the Increased Burden Pharaoh doesn’t just say no — he increases the burden. Straw is removed. Work is doubled. Hope feels c...

Genesis 24 — The Bride Chosen for the Son Genesis 24 is one of the most Christ-filled chapters in all of Genesis. Beneath the love story of Isaac and Rebekah lies a powerful picture of Christ, the Father, and the Church . Abraham, the father of the promise, sends his unnamed servant to find a bride for his son. Isaac does not go searching for the bride himself. Instead, the servant is sent ahead, carrying the wealth and authority of the father, speaking only of the son. This is no accident. It is a clear shadow of the Holy Spirit , sent by the Father to call a bride for Christ. Rebekah is chosen not by appearance, but by her willing heart. She serves generously, responds in faith, and leaves her old life behind to journey toward a son she has never seen. She walks by faith, not sight—just as the Church is called to follow Christ before seeing Him face to face. Isaac waits. He does not chase. He waits in the field, and when the bride approaches, Rebekah veils herself. This moment mirror...
