Jan 4, 2022 · Jesus shows up often in the Old Testament—not by that name, and not in the same form as we see Him in the New Testament, but He is there nonetheless. The theme of the entire Bible is Christ. Jesus Himself confirmed the fact that He is in the Old Testament.

We often read our Bibles as if Jesus made his first appearance in this world as a baby in the New Testament. But did he first appear in the book of Matthew? Or is Jesus in the Old Testament too? The Bible’s witness to Jesus did not begin in the Gospels. In fact, a common thread runs throughout the pages of our Bibles from the beginning of Genesis t...
Yes—he’s all over the place. In fact, more than once Jesus opened what we know as the Old Testament (it was the only Scripture that existed then!) to show his disciples passages that pointed to him. But that’s just the beginning.
According to the Lexham Bible Dictionary (LBD), a prophecy is “an oral, divine message mediated through an individual that is directed at a person or people group and intended to elicit a specific response.” Prophecies can predict or foretell future events or admonish (sometimes these two overlap). The Old Testament is packed with prophecies about ...
Throughout the Bible, pictures, patterns, and symbols “foreshadow” or point to New Testament truth and knit the salvation narrative together. This is called “typology.” Lexham Bible Dictionary (LBD) defines “typology” as “A literary hermeneutical device in which a person, event, or institution in the Old Testament is understood to correspond with a...

Knowing Jesus through the Old Testament
In Knowing Jesus through the Old Testament, Christopher J. H. Wright traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. He describes God’s design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus—and according to V. Philips Long, “shows how Jesus himself and the New Testament writers understood and explained his identity, mission, and significance in the light of the whole of the Hebrew Scriptures.” Level: Basic Type: Technical Perspectives:Evangelical, Conservative, Angli...
The word “feast” in Hebrew is mo’ed, which means “an appointment.” These feasts were, according to the Lexham Bible Dictionary, “regularly occurring community events that recognized God’s work and presence with his people” and “celebrations of divine provision or protection.” Leviticus 23 lists seven feasts: Sabbath, Passover, Firstfruits, the Feas...
In addition to the overarching theme of salvation present in these feasts—and throughout the entire Old Testament—is the concept of Jesus as Prophet, Priest, and King. The Old Testament is full of stories of prophets who called people to repentance, priests who acted as mediators between God and his people, and kings who either ruled with justice a...
- Christ Patterned. The flood and the ark, the Passover and the Red Sea, the wilderness and the Promised Land, exile and return, war and peace, kingdom and kings, prophets and priests, the temple, its sacrifices, and its rituals, wisdom in death and in life, songs of lament and rejoicing, the lives of faithful sufferers and the blood of righteous martyrs — the Old Testament is extraordinarily Jesus-shaped.
- Christ Promised. Old Testament saints were not simply tiles in a mosaic, witnessing, unwittingly, to a gospel pattern of which they were ignorant. They too looked forward to the fulfillment of these patterns.
- Christ Present. But more than just patterned and promised, perhaps the most underappreciated facet is that Christ also is present. It’s surprising how explicit the New Testament authors are about Jesus’s presence in the Old Testament
- As It Was in the Beginning? The passages quoted thus far have been from the New Testament. Armed only with these, you can mount a strong case that the Hebrew Bible proclaims Christ.
God’s revelation throughout the Old Testament prefigures, anticipates, and announces beforehand the redemption that he would accomplish in the person and work of his incarnate Son, Jesus Christ.
