Let us start this new year by understanding and putting the debate as to why the old testament is important.
Jesus is throughout the old testament and He is the seed of David which gives us every right and a need deep down within us to understand who He is and why He indeed the Savior of world and why He needs to be glorified.
In essence, to understand the benefits of the new, we need to go back and understand the old.
God Bless.
Jeremiah 23:5-6
“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.
Again we see scripture in the Old Testament point forward revealing Jesus Christ as the One who is to come. Jesus is the "Branch of righteousness" (NKJV). He is the King who reigns wisely and holds true justice in His hands. Impossible salvation has come to us through Jesus. He has broken through the shroud of sin and death and created hope for new life. Whatever situation you may face today, know that it is not hopeless. You are not abandoned and alone! We serve a God who moves people in His purpose, who is active through the lives He has created. He is indeed our King, and He is worthy of our adoration and worship.
