Christ is the Protagonist of the Bible

If you follow-the blog, you know that my church held...A Christocentric Conference a few weeks ago. Perhaps one of my favorite lines of the conference was..."Jesus is the protagonist of the Bible."

The scriptures put it like this, "And He is the head of the body, the church who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. " (Colossians 1:18)

or, John 5:39 "You search the scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me."

So what is the definition of a Protagonist? "The leading character, hero, or heroine of a drama or other literary work."

The scriptures, speak of HIM. He is preeminent in the scriptures. Jesus is the Protagonist of the Bible. It is all about HIM and HIM Alone. We do truly have the mind of Christ in the scriptures! Jesus is the Word of God (Rev. 19:13).
