At Pentecost we have a great example of Bible preaching. Peter stood up before the people and quoted five verses from Joel, chapter 2, and preached a marvelous sermon on the pouring out of the Holy Spirit and the plan of salvation. Read that story in Acts 2:14–39, and then remember that “with many other words did he testify and exhort.” And in the brief part of the sermon which is given, there is also a clear exposition of Psalm 16:8–10. Peter started with Scripture and expounded that Scripture and other Scriptures and added fervent exhortation and explanation. Read Matthew 5, part of the Sermon on the Mount. There surely you will be impressed with the preaching of Jesus, that He again and again took an Old Testament Scripture and expounded the deeper meaning, more than was apparent on the surface. Do not be misled by the teaching of infidels and modernists that Jesus was doing away with the Law. He plainly said, ‘I am not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it.’ He plainly said that not one jot or tittle should pass away until all should be fulfilled. But in each case, He used the Scripture and explained the deeper meaning of the Scriptures.
