Introduction
Day 2 of The God Summit 2025 at ICGC Christ Temple East delivered a powerful moment of clarity as Rev. Nhyira Otabil-Allotey unpacked one of the most important questions in Christian discipleship: What did Jesus believe about the Scriptures?
Her presentation, rich with biblical insight and historical depth, urged believers to build their faith on the same foundation Jesus Himself stood upon—the authoritative, unbreakable, and living word of God.
Jesus Treated Scripture as His Highest Authority
Opening her message, Rev. Nhyira-Allotey reminded the audience that Jesus’ entire ministry was built on the Old Testament. “The same Scriptures that we hold in our hands today are the same Scriptures that Jesus also held. He called them truth,” she said.
She explained that Jesus never separated His ministry from the written word. In the wilderness temptation, “Three temptations, three answers, each one anchored in Scripture,” she noted. By answering Satan with “It is written,” Jesus showed that “God’s written word carries the same authority as God’s spoken word.”
Scripture Was the Living Voice of God to Jesus
Rev. Nhyira-Allotey emphasized that Jesus did not treat Scripture as ancient or outdated. She referenced His debate with the Sadducees: “Have you not read what was spoken to you by God?” Although Moses wrote those words centuries earlier, Jesus considered them God’s present speech.
“For Jesus, Scripture wasn’t a record of what people once believed—it was the living voice of God still speaking now,” she explained.
Jesus Saw Scripture as One Unified Revelation Pointing to Him
Moving to the Emmaus Road narrative, she described how Jesus interpreted Scripture through Himself. “Beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He explained the things concerning Himself,” she quoted.
Every prophecy—whether the Passover lamb, Jonah’s three days, or Isaiah’s suffering servant—pointed to Christ. “Every covenant, every sacrifice, every promise whispered His name,” she added.
Jesus Opened Minds to Understand the Word
Even after His resurrection, Jesus’ priority remained Scripture. Rev. Nhyira-Allotey quoted Luke 24: “Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.”
She emphasized, “To understand Scripture is not just intellectual—it is spiritual. Only God can open human minds to divine truth.”
Jesus Fulfilled Every Word of Scripture
She concluded the body of her message by illustrating how Jesus fulfilled the law, the prophets, and the Psalms—not by abolishing them but by embodying them. “Every detail confirmed that the Scriptures are unbreakable, unfailing, and completely trustworthy,” she said.
From prophecy to poetry, everything pointed to Christ. “From ‘It is written’ to ‘It is finished,’ His entire life anchored in the word,” she declared.
Conclusion
Rev. Nhyira-Allotey’s presentation left listeners with a sobering challenge: to treat Scripture as Jesus did—with reverence, certainty, and obedience. “Once we open the Bible, we are not just reading what God once said—we are hearing what He is still speaking today,” she reminded the congregation.
Her message strengthened the central theme of The God Summit 2025: that the future of Christianity rests on believers who know, trust, and defend the reliability of God’s word.
