Is it possible to preach from the Bible on a Sunday morning and not mention Jesus?  I fear the answer is ‘Yes – all too easy’.  Especially when we preach the Old Testament.  I’ve been told to always ask myself, ‘Would a rabbi be happy to preach that sermon in a synagogue next Saturday?’  If the answer is ‘Yes’ then I have not done my job as a Christian preacher – to prove from the Scriptures the necessity and supremacy of Christ crucified (Acts 17:2-3 cf. 1 Cor. 1:17-2:5; 2 Cor. 4:5; Phil 1:18; Col. 1:28).
