Many Christians don’t pay much attention to the Old Testament.
They believe it’s outdated, too hard to understand, and say we should
simply concentrate on the New Testament.
After all, the New Testament is all about Jesus!
And while the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) do tell the
story of Jesus . . . the Old Testament has a lot to say about Jesus,
too!
In fact, did you know that Jesus is in every single book of the Old
Testament?
Check out the list below!
(I didn’t create this list. I got it from an online site called 1-Minute
