Stripture interprets scripture

Cross referenceIf you read a scripture and you really don’t understand it there are a few ways to handle it.  Read Commentaries, asking someone, read it in another version  or cross referencing.  Although all 4 are great methods, the last is the best.  Reading a cross reference is so amazing.  Take this example:

 And I will put enmity
       between you and the woman,
       and between your offspring  and hers;
       he will crush your head,
       and you will strike his heel.”  Genesis Chapter 3:15

I confuse easily.  I didn’t understand this at all.  So I looked in the margin and I saw 3:15…1Jn 3:8 and Ro 16:20.  So I looked them up

He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. (1John  3:8)

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.(Romans 16:20)

So in GENESIS we see a prophesy of Jesus taking our Sin!

Scripture interprets Scripture!
