Audio: The Living Word, Christ, Revealed in the Written Word

In The Living Word, Christ, Revealed in the Written Word, the Rev. Bartel Elshout outlines the five biblical roles of Christ: the eternal Logos through whom all things were created; the incarnate Word who reconciles sinners to God; the inscripturated Word, with Scripture as the Spirit-inspired testimony of the Son; the essential focus of all true preaching, requiring ministers to ‘dig in your text until you find Christ’; and the eternal, living Word, who will be the centre of heavenly worship. He concludes by affirming the church’s solemn duty to protect, preserve, publish, promote, and proclaim the written Word—recognising that Satan seeks to obscure Christ by corrupting the text.
