Well, that is only partly true. The Bible actually has a lot to say about you, to you and for you; but, the Bible is fundamentally about “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” How then can we understand the substance of the Scriptures as God understands it? Tim Keller does a good job of briefly explaining what the Bible is about in the video below:

A very impressive summary of biblical theology in under four minutes.
I should not have posted a video with images of what Jesus supposedly looked like. That is clearly a violation of the second commandment. So when you see the pictures just think “Hey, that’s John the Baptizer, or Simon Peter.
What a great video. Thanks for posting. Funny you should say that about the 2nd commandment because I was thinking that if I could post it on FB that I would put a warning for those with low 2nd Commandment thresholds. (I don’t see an issue with it here). Do you have a way this can be posted on FB or other sites? Was it somewhere else originally that might have it?
Never mind about the original site. Amazing what can be done by typing words into Google.
This is really, really good. The only improvements I can think of (dare I think that Keller can be improved upon!): 1. The Bible is about you only insofar as it reveals your sin (Law). 2. The Bible is really about Jesus Christ – who He is and what He’s done – FOR YOU (Gospel). Those last two words, FOR YOU, are needful, I think, lest some preachers end up brilliantly lecturing about redemptive history and the person and work of Christ w/o actually preaching Christ.
