Through the Bible, Lesson #8 The Backstory of Jesus in the Old Testament

by

The Backstory of JesusThis lesson explores how the tabernacle, sacrifices, and festivals in the Old Testament form the foundation for understanding Jesus and the rest of the Bible.

Beginning with the Road to Emmaus, we are reminded that Jesus Himself explained how Moses and the Prophets pointed to Him. The New Testament repeatedly shows that what happened in the life of Jesus was the fulfillment of promises, pictures, and patterns given centuries earlier.

The lesson emphasizes that the Bible is one unified story with one ultimate Author. When read in fragments, its unity can be missed. But when viewed as a whole, the tabernacle, sacrificial system, priesthood, and festivals reveal a coherent plan of redemption pointing forward to Christ.

Each element of Israel’s worship—the altar, laver, lampstand, showbread, veil, ark, and annual feasts—served as a picture of what Jesus would ultimately fulfill. These were not random rituals, but carefully designed illustrations of cleansing, sacrifice, fellowship, intercession, rest, and final redemption. Together they form the backstory of Jesus and deepen our understanding of His life, death, resurrection, and promised return.

Following is the podcast, video, and handouts for the lesson.
