The entire Old Testament points toward Jesus as Savior, and if you miss that, you’ve missed the entire point of the Scriptures. Jesus is the Messiah and the fulfillment of prophecy.” -Adrian Rogers
Hopefully, we’ve highlighted a few of the ways the Old Testament points toward Jesus, prophesied about Him, and revealed His active presence in people’s lives. And I know we’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg.
We pray that our printables helped you to focus on the miracle of Jesus and the purpose of His presence – in the Old Testament, and as He came in the flesh to be God with us, here and now!
Yes, our Immanuel, God with us… We pray you experienced Him personally as we looked together into the Old Testament.
- Patti wrote how Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which means “House of Bread”, to be our spiritual bread of life. Patti’s post also included printable bread recipe cards. Yum!
- Jesus is the Prince of Peace. If you’re in need of some peace today, my post focused on the fact that the same Peace promised to the Israelites is the same peace offered to us today. Included a printable paper Christmas ornament with the names of the Messiah listed in Isa 9:6-7.
- Lisa wrote an enlightening post about The Ark of the Covenant, and how as Believers, we are now the home of God’s presence. Her post included a printable list of verses and a printable prayer verse all about the topic.
- Jesus is our Immanuel, God with us! As Lindsey pointed out, no matter our circumstances, God will never leave us alone. Her post included beautiful printable artwork that reminds us God is with us.
- Caroline reminded us to slow down and stop striving this Christmas. Rather than strive, we can celebrate that Jesus came from Heaven to reach us! Caroline’s post includes a fun coloring page you can do with the special kiddos in your life to remind them of this very important message.
{And a most special thank you to our dear friend, Ashley Taylor,
for creating all of the beautiful printables this month!}
We hope our focus this month will encourage you to continue looking into the entire Bible to find Jesus. He’s there. And we pray that you’ll be more and more as Christmas draws near… blessed by drawing near Him in worship, adoration, and praise!
Thank you all for all the work and all the effort to reveal Jesus in the Old Testament, I am grateful. And I thank you Jesus for coming to show us the way back home. Thank you and I love you so much. I pray you all have a very special Merry Christmas.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the series, Jinnie! I just prayed that prayer right along with you. He’s truly marvelous, isn’t He? Thank you for the Christmas wishes– praying for a very blessed Christmas for you and yours, as well!
Every part of Tabernacle points to Jesus.
The gate – Jesus says I am the Way, the Truth and the Life no one comes to the Father except through me. Notice that there is only ONE gate in Tabernacle.
Brazen Altar – Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice.
Laver – This is use for purification. The Blood of Jesus purifies us.
Golden Lampstand – The only light inside the Holy Place. It speaks about Jesus is the Light of the world. In Him there is no darkness.
Table of Showbread – Jesus is the bread of Life
Altar of Incense – This is prayer of the saints. Jesus intercedes for us (Hebrews 7:25).
Ark and the Mercy Seat – Jesus is our Mercy Seat (Romans 3:24 to 25).
Yes indeed, it is written!
Excellent points, Ka Pogi! It never ceases to amaze me how much of the Old Testament and the components of the Israelites’ worship pointed to our precious Jesus. Thanks for pointing out the specifics of the Tabernacle. Blessings to you and yours.
