Expounding “All the Scriptures in One”
The mission of Jesus is the major focus of the scriptures; therefore, all scriptures testify of him. Jacob recorded that “none of the prophets have written, nor prophesied, save they have spoken concerning this Christ” (Jacob 7:11). Nephi stated, “My soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ; . . . and all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him” (2 Nephi 11:4). All scriptures rise from and run into a common source—Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Thus, to expound the scriptures is to speak, teach, write, and testify of Christ.
