Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament

To understand Jesus, we must read the Bible. Jesus' earthly birth begins in the gospel accounts in the New Testament of the Bible. But if we truly want to know Jesus, the Christ, we must go back to the very beginning. Jesus is written on every page, but we have to be willing to look throughout the Bible and see what God's inspired word wants us to know about His Son, our Savior.

"A shadow is 'a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays of light and a surface.' The shadow assumes the shape of the object blocking the light. It resembles the object but isn't the object.

In Biblical literature, a shadow is a prefiguring of something in the future. One thing in the Old Testament resembles in some way a thing in the New Testament."

What we'll see are things and people throughout the Old Testament that point to and resemble Jesus who we find in the New Testament.
