The Christ Index

How Christ Appears in Every Chapter of the Bible

From the first verse of Genesis to the last verse of Revelation, the whole Bible is one long story about one Person. This index walks chapter by chapter through every book, surfacing where Christ is foreshadowed, named, fulfilled, or seen - so the unity of Scripture stops being a doctrine you affirm and starts being something you can see for yourself.

Pick a book to begin. Each chapter card on the next page shows in one paragraph how Christ appears there, and links to the full study guide for the chapter.

The Old Testament

The New Testament

Deuterocanonical Books

How this index is built. Every chapter on Learn of Christ has a Christ Connection - a short paragraph that names how the chapter points to Jesus. This page aggregates all of them, so you can see the whole shape of Scripture pointing one direction. Hand-curated chapters are marked with a small dot.

From here you can open the full chapter-by-chapter study guides, read the Bible in eight translations, or explore the themes that run through it.

Frequently asked questions

How does Christ appear in the Old Testament?

The New Testament writers read the Old Testament as pointing forward to Jesus - in promises like the offspring of Genesis 3:15, in figures like the Passover lamb and the suffering servant of Isaiah 53, and in the Psalms the Gospels quote. This index notes those connections chapter by chapter.

What is a "Christ connection"?

A short note on how a given chapter points to Jesus - a promise, a pattern, a prophecy, or a moment where he is named or revealed. Every chapter study guide includes one, and this index gathers them in one place.

Is Jesus really in every book of the Bible?

Christians have long read the whole of Scripture as one story that leads to and flows from Jesus. Some connections are explicit prophecies; others are themes, patterns, or longings the New Testament sees fulfilled in him. This index lets you weigh each one for yourself, chapter by chapter.

Where should I start?

Genesis, Isaiah, the Psalms, and the four Gospels are rich starting points. Pick any book below to see how Christ appears across its chapters, then open the full study guide for any chapter.
