Old testament
Cornerstone
He is the cornerstone joining the walls and making the building strong. All peoples come together in Christ and grow “into a holy temple in the Lord.”
Greatest Commandment
Jesus said, “On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Vertical and Horizontal
He makes the confusing clear and the complex simple. He sums up the entire Old Testament with these two commands. Now all that’s left is the application.
Preparing Us For Jesus
The death of Jesus on our behalf brings forgiveness and reconciles us with the Holy God. Amazing, isn’t it? Wherever you are in the Old Testament, God the Father is preparing us for God the Son.
Advent: Preparing for Jesus - Proof
Many times when God calls us to do great things, He gives us proof that He is at work. In the Old Testament, He proved Himself to Moses, Joshua, and Gideon. In the New Testament, He proved Himself to the disciples and Paul on the road to Damascus.
