More To Learn

As I have been reading through the Book of Hebrews, I have been reminded of how much more there is to know about Jesus. The writer of Hebrews takes us back in time to the O.T. priesthood and tabernacle. He reminds us of the duties of the priest and of the Law. However, his point is not to just give us a history lesson, he wants us to see Christ in the Old Testament. He wants us to see how God had a plan all along. Many in the church today have only a shallow understanding of Jesus. They are missing some of the richest revelation because they do not study the Old Testament. It has been said that "the O.T. is the N.T. concealed and the N.T. is the O.T. reaveled." In other words, what we read in the O.T. gives us a shadow of what we will find in the N.T. Reading the N.T. will help us to understand what we have read in the Old. Jesus Himself said, "I have come to fulfill the law and the prophets." If you want a deeper revelation of Christ today, begin to study the tabernacle of Moses and the priesthood. This will bring out so much understanding of why Christ died on the cross and why He had to shed His blood for us. Don't be satisfied with a shallow understanding today. Go deeper in God's Word. Search for deeper truths and nuggets of revelation. Have a great weekend and God bless.
