Christ in the Old Testament (181)
  1. He is no sweet and sappy, romanticized and Disneyfied, cartoonish Christ. He is ferocious, free, untamed, and heaven-bent on not leaving the battlefield until the war is won and he makes his enemies a footstool for his feet.
  2. Mary’s virginity has to do with the story of a jackass king, two growling enemies, a young lady, and a big, bad Assyrian dog.
  3. Scott and Caleb are joined by Chad Bird to talk about the Old Testament.
  4. Far too many Christians read the Bible as if a dam has been built between the waters of the Old Testament and the New Testament.
  5. Jesus and the New Testament—good. Yahweh and the Old Testament—not really so good. So goes the popular, but largely whispered, dichotomy.
  6. Some of the last words our Lord spoke were addressed to a man who stood on the precipice of eternity.
  7. Blood is the thing. In the Scriptures, sin must be covered or "atoned for" as it's called, by blood.
  8. At the Passover, when Jesus said, "Take, eat, this is my body... take, drink, this is the New Testament in my blood, which is given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins," he wasn't inventing a "new" thing.
  9. The sweet aroma of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ overpowers the icy winds that seek to destroy.
  10. Often, when we talk about the Old Testament, we talk about God's promises and work for his chosen people, Israel.
  11. Jesus is the Word of God. God’s Word—on two legs (John 1:14). I’d read it in the first chapter of John’s Gospel many, many times.
  12. The Thinking Fellows are joined by Donavon Riley to talk about how Jesus is present and works through all the Scriptures. Inspired by the episode Scott and Donavon Talk About Everything, the Fellows cover OT prophecy and theophanies.
