A regional Surf Life Saving New Zealand manager said,

“We need to keep going back to one of our core messages – always swim between the flags.”

When I read that in the paper (The New Zealand Herald, Wednesday, December 26, 2012) I asked myself, “What are our biblical core messages?”

WHAT IS THE CARDINAL THEME OF THE BIBLE?

The cardinal theme of the Bible is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the most important topic. He is our core message!

I think that we need to keep going back to our core message, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ is not only our core message, he is also the key to understanding the BIBLE.

And remember, we can only say by revelation that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. It has to be revealed to us by the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.

You can read that in the Bible, in Matthew 16:13-20.
