About Event

Lutheran Church of the Master in Omaha, Nebraska, has invited Chad Bird to speak Sunday evening, September 19, via Zoom as a part of their monthly Digital Campus series call "Conversations on Christianity."

For those interested in attending this, login credentials will be needed. Please contact the church directly, in particular, Jon Bradley

Chad will speak on The Christ Key: Unlocking the Mystery of Jesus in the Old Testament.

We might picture the Old Testament as a vast mansion with many rooms: the creation room; the exodus room; the tabernacle, angel, and war rooms. The key to unlocking each of these and fully understanding what God is showing us in them is Jesus the Messiah. We will take a tour of this Hebrew mansion and see how, in various ways, Jesus is mysteriously present in the life of ancient Israel. We will see him appearing under the guise of “the angel of the Lord.” He will give us pencil sketches of himself in men such as Melchizedek and David. He will reveal his mission of sacrifice in the architecture of the temple. The Christ key is God’s chosen means of unlocking the Old Testament for us.
