More than a few Christians skip right over the Old Testament, thinking the New Testament is all they need. That’s like leaving half the presents under the Christmas tree unopened.
Jesus said,
Matthew 5:17 (EXB)
“Don’t think that I have come to destroy [abolish; do away with] the law of Moses or the teaching of the prophets [the Law and the Prophets; referring to the OT]. I have not come to destroy them but to bring about what they said [fulfill/complete them].”
Between now and Christmas, we’ll focus on Old Testament references to Christ. Prepare to open some old gifts.
Good morning, Lord. Thank You for Your Word — all of it! Forgive me for skipping over the parts I don’t like, sections that are hard to read or understand. Every jot and tittle is important, this I know. It’s all part of Your big, beautiful love story. Holy Spirit, reveal Scripture’s message for me today and every day.
