Jesus in the Old Testament: Anticipating Christmas (Chris and Randy)

The Old Testament reveals God’s plan for our salvation through Jesus Christ.  From the beginning of time, God intended to redeem us from sin, forgive our transgressions, and restore us as his children.  He made a promise to Abraham which he first demonstrated through the exodus and ultimately fulfilled on the cross.  Now, we may live in the full knowledge that we are God’s children, guaranteed the inheritance of eternal life.  With this knowledge, let this be a Christmas where we truly let Christ be born in us anew.

Jesus in the Old Testament: Isaiah and the Coming Promise (Randy)

God revealed his entire plan for redemption and salvation in the Old Testament.  Now, with the stage set, he shares details for his plan through the prophet Isaiah.  More than just a pillar of fire of pillar of cloud, God planned to enter the world as a child – a child who would bring light into the world and salvation for all people.

Jesus in the Old Testament: Psalms 22 and 23 (Chris)

We can consider the Psalms to be “Jesus’ own prayers.”  While written many years before his birth, the authors of the Psalms were inspired by the truth that is Christ to cover the whole breadth of human experience and to offer us guidance on how to connect with God at any point in our lives.  Psalm 22 and 23 in particular offer us powerful personal access to Jesus in two of his most important roles: Savior and Pastor.
