Actually, if you look, you can find the Lord in every book. I once heard C.H. Spurgeon listened to a sermon from one of the seminary students who was preaching in Ezekiel for the lesson. He remonstrated with the young man after for not preaching Christ and the student said something about not preaching from the New Testament, but from Ezekiel.
Spurgeon then told him, in effect, if you can’t find Christ in Ezekiel, you don’t need to be in the pulpit!
Boy, I wasn't even close!
