The concept of "Pointing to Jesus" is a central theme in the Bible, emphasizing the idea that all of Scripture ultimately points to the person and work of Jesus Christ. As the apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:28, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose," highlighting God's sovereign plan to bring glory to Himself through Jesus. In the Old Testament, Psalms 23:1 sets the tone for this theme, declaring "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing," which finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, the Good Shepherd (John 10:11). Through the Bible, believers are encouraged to look to Jesus as the culmination of God's redemptive plan, with the writer of Hebrews affirming that Jesus is the "radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature" (Hebrews 1:3).
K.P. Yohannan emphasizes the importance of pointing others to Jesus rather than focusing on personal abilities or positions, as illustrated by a conflict between an older staff member and a younger leader in his ministry. He highlights that losing sight of Jesus leads to disunity and discouragement,
