1. The Old Testament is all about Jesus.
In Luke 24:44–47 Jesus himself says that the Old Testament is about him:
Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem ..read more

Signs that Point to Jesus
The Old Testament contains “types,” that is, symbolic personages and things and events that point forward to fulfillment, especially the climactic fulfillment in Christ. Some types are obvious because the New Testament talks about them at length. For example, the priesthood of Aaron and his sons, described in the Mosaic law, is fulfilled in the heavenly priesthood of Christ, according to Hebrews 5–10. The Passover feast, commemorating God’s deliverance of Israel from Egyptian slavery, is fulfilled in the death of Christ, the Passover lamb: “For Christ, our Passover la ..read more

How to Study the Old Testament for Signs of Christ
Believers read Scripture to follow Christ and deepen their relationship with him. But since a majority of the Bible was written before Jesus’s life and death on the cross, many people rely on the Old Testament for historical context and moral guidance alone. However, when studied in detail, we see how even the Old Testament reveals Christ as the center of God’s plan for redemption.
Biblical Typology examines how the Old Testament foreshadows Christ, the church, and the consummation through types ..read more

GOD, THREE IN ONE Abstract
God is One, but he exists in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We will explore the biblical basis for this statement and the various discussions about this topic in the early church.
In chapter 2, I said that Scripture presents God to us in three ways: by narrating his actions, by giving us authoritative descriptions of him, and by giving us a glimpse of his inner triune life. We looked at the first two of these all too brief ..read more
