Jan 4, 2022 · The altar in the courtyard symbolizes the need for Jesus’ sacrifice to atone for our sin. The laver shows Jesus as providing the water of life (John 4:14). Inside the Holy Place, the lampstand is suggestive of Jesus as the light of the world (John 9:5). The table of showbread is Jesus as the bread of life (John 6:35).

The Gospel of Matthew
Mattewpresents Jesus as the promised Messiah (Christ, Matt 1:1), the coming King (Matt 2:2). The Gospel of Matthew is very Jewish in its message, revealing Jesus as the Star that would come out of Jacob, the Scepter that would rise out of Israel (Num 24:17-19), and the One who would sit on David’s throne (Isa 9:7). The Gospel gives great revelation of the Kingdom to come (Matt 3:2, et.al, Matt 13). In Matthew, Jesus’ genealogy is recorded from Abraham to Joseph, making Jesus the legal heir to...
The Gospel of Mark
Mark presents Jesus as the Suffering Servant, prophesied in Isaiah 53. Jesus humbled Himself and came to do the will of His Father and to reveal the amazing love and grace of God. This is clearly seen in Jesus’ own words,“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45) There is no genealogy recorded in the Gospel of Mark because a servant’s genealogy was insignificant and not worthy of being recorded. The symbol of the Gos...
The Gospel of Luke
Luke presents Jesus as the Son of Man, a messianic title from the prophecy of Daniel (Dan 7:13), and as the son of David (Luke 3:31). Luke focuses on Jesus’ humanity and beautifully details the announcement of His incarnation and His birth (Luke 1 and 2). Luke is the only Gospel that gives a glimpse into Jesus’ childhood years (Luke 2:40, Luke 2:42-43). The genealogy in Luke begins with Joseph, as the husband of Mary, and traces Jesus’ ancestry through Mary’s bloodline, from the line of David...
With all four Gospels, we get a clear and accurate understanding of who Jesus is, what Jesus has done, and what He continues to do. Eight times in the Gospels we read of the Lord Jesus Christ giving an admonition that we are to have ears that hear (Matthew 11:15, 13:9,43, Mark 4:9, 23, Mark 7:16, Luke 8:8, 14:35). We are told by the apostle Paul th...
All of this was prophesied, more than a half a century earlier, by the prophet Micah: But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah,though thou belittle [Mark’s humble servant] among the thousands of Judah [Luke’s Son of Man from the Tribe of Judah], yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to beruler in Israel [Matthew’s coming King]; whose goings forth...
- Jesus is the Last Adam. From the beginning, the full story of Scripture reveals the full glory of Christ—even with Adam. Hunter and Wellum remind us that Adam was “not just the first man in God’s story.
- Jesus is testified to by ‘the Law and the Prophets’ Paul is clear about Christ’s whereabouts in the Old Testament: “But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify” (Romans 3:21).
- Noah: a Foretaste of judgment and salvation through Christ. If Jesus is the last Adam, Noah was meant as a new Adam. In his story, two themes emerge, judgment and salvation—which offer a foretaste of Jesus in the Old Testament.
- Isaac: Jesus is the “seed” of Abraham and true substitute. Remember, God promised Abraham that “all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:3), and then repeated it: “Through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed” (Genesis 22:18).

Jul 5, 2020 · The Bible speaks in several places about Christ living in our hearts. Paul prayed that “Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith” (Eph. 3:17), and he speaks about “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27). Jesus Christ has ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven. But He is present with us by His Holy Spirit.

Oct 12, 2021 · 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 to the last page of Revelation: Christ. And for many people, realizing Jesus did not enter the biblical narrative in the book Matthew is the hinge that opens up their Bibles and turns the pages from black and white to technicolor.
