Christ in the Old Testament

Why should we bother studying the Old Testament when we have the New Testament? It's a legitimate question and one worth considering. One important reason is this....

The Old Testament is the Bible that Jesus Read.

When we're reading the Old Testament, we're reading a book that is all about Christ. When Christ talked about himself, and when his earliest believers talked about who he was and what he was accomplishing through his acts of salvation, they referred to the Old Testament.

Join Chad Bird–Old Testament scholar and author of, "Upside-Down Spirituality: The 9 Essential Failures of a Faithful Life"–as he explores the beautiful Christology that is layered in the Old Testament stories, prophecies, and psalms.
