We appreciate your comments very much. My name is Dr. Gary Greig, and I am Editorial Director for Bible and Theology for Gospel Light Publications. I wanted to address your thoughts on teaching children, teens, and adults about who God is first and then helping them know Jesus in that context. While that is certainly a biblically valid approach, we believe that Henrietta Mears insisted on a Christo-centric approach of connecting kids, teens, and adults with Jesus first, because the Bible teaches in passages like those below that Jesus is the very means by which we come to know who and what God is like. What biblical scholars refer to as Christological theology in the New Testament comes from passages like these that show that Jesus Christ, as the exact representation and image of Father God, is our "contact point" or our entry way by faith into knowing God and how much He loves us. Yes, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, are distinct persons of the Triune Godhead. But Henrietta taught with biblical support that if we can connect people to Jesus, who is God the Son, they will also come to know God the Father and God the Holy Spirit as a natural outcome:<br /><br />Heb. 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.<br /><br />Col. 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.<br /><br />John 14:8-9 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.<br /><br />Henrietta was a modern-day champion of Christo-centric interpretation of the Bible. At a time when others were totally centered on historicism, or the evolution of the idea of monotheism, or genre studies, or the study of the communities out of which certain writings were supposed to arise, Henrietta steadfastly kept the main thing of the Bible the main thing--Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). As Director of Christian Education at Hollywood Presbyterian Church for many years, as the founder of Gospel Light Publications and the Forest Home Christian Conference Center in the San Bernardino Mountains of California, Mears put together a highly successful three-year Sunday School curriculum on the whole Bible for what grew to be a Sunday School of 4,500 children, teens, and adults. In her persistent attention to the centrality of Jesus Christ, Henrietta was in good company. This impulse is found in the best thinking of the Church Fathers through the centuries—including Augustine, Basil the Great, and John Chrysostom—and it had its start in the Bible itself as the Christological passages from the New Testament above show. <br /><br />In her article, “The Bible: Christo-Centric" (1937), Henrietta put it this way:<br /><br />There is one principal subject of the Bible to which every other subject is related. The Bible is Christo-centric. Take Christ out of the Old Testament and the whole structure falls apart. The Book from Genesis to Revelation has but one theme—the Bible speaks only of Jesus Christ. You remember Paul said to the Corinthians, “I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2, KJV) That is the theme of the Bible from beginning to end.<br /><br />The subject of the Old Testament is the same as the New. Each complements the other. Neither is complete without the other. They both are “the witness that God has borne concerning His Son.” (1 John 5:9, ASV) No one can ever understand the Bible unless he sees Christ on every page. He is the One who solves the difficulties in interpretation. He is the key that unlocks every page.Dr. Gary S.
