Adrien Rogers said all of the Bible is about Jesus and if you read the Bible and don’t see Jesus you’d better reread it because somewhere in the shadows you’ll find Jesus and that’s what we hope you’ll find in this series on the Tabernacle seeing Jesus in unexpected places these audio messages are presented as a companion piece to each chapter in the new book seeing Jesus in unexpected places from Love Worth Finding Ministries now with the message Christ the beauty of the Tabernacle here’s Adrien Rogers now we told you that it consisted
