Jesus and thr Scriptures

When we begin to understand who Jesus is, what He did, and what He said, it will help us to understand the importance Jesus placed upon the Scriptures. If the Scriptures were only man’s words He would have rejected them; if they were lies He would have refuted them; if they were opinions He would have dismissed them; if they were irrelevant He would have ignored them.
But what did He do with the Scriptures and how did He respond to them? He validated them, honored them, taught them, preached them, obeyed them, fulfilled them, and affirmed them as words from His Father.
Jesus fully submitted Himself to the authority of the Scriptures. He would never say or do anything that would undermine the authority of the Scriptures through His words or His actions. His purpose in coming was not to do whatever He wanted, but to fulfill the Scriptures. Fulfilling the Scriptures was one of the most powerful evidences of Jesus being the Jewish Messiah who would be a light to the gentiles and the glory of Israel.
