For two Doctrinal Homily Outlines for the Third Sunday of Easter, please click here and then scroll down.
A very interesting doctrine one of the outlines focuses on is that Christ is the key to interpreting all Scripture.
After Christ rose from the dead, he gave his disciples a job to do. It was a task that we might easily overlook. Overshadowing it was their Great Commission to evangelize all nations. But this special project he assigned them was to “reread,” so-to-speak, salvation history.
He gave them the key to understanding this history.
The key was that He fulfilled everything written about him in the Old Testament Scriptures and that what the Scriptures said was, “Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.”
