Discussion Questions
-
What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
The old testament is my favorite book why do I enjoy studying the old testament. Because it gives a history in a lineage of who God is and where Jesus came from. And the prophets spoke about it all the time.
-
The characters in the Old Testament are filled with great men of faith in God
-
To understand the connection it has with the New Testament and how they both are in sync with each other, which is to give us a complete picture of God and how Jesus is seen woven through the Old Testament before we get to the New Testament.
-
To get a complete picture of who God is and how the story of Jesus’ resurrection makes sense for us.
-
The old testament is rich in context of prophecies of Christ, the Law that He himself followed, and the details leading up to the alley-opp that He comes to dunk(fulfill) in the new testament.
-
Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
The Old Testament is like a House and Jesus is the key. The OT reveals the foundation of truth of God’s plan and character. We can see Jesus in the OT too! The New Covenant and Testament often points back so we can understand.
-
Because Jesus is revealed through the Prophets and events in the OT. His coming is foretold with acute accuracy.
-
A lack of knowledge of the Old Testament would lead us to read and interpret the New Testament through our own lenses and distortions, rather than through the proper context in which it was to be interpreted through!
-
Because without the knowledge of the Old Testament we can not fully understand the New Testament. The Old Testament really lays the foundation.
-
because the old testament gives us the introduction to Christ in his redemptive history and it is necessary to listen to the work that God has done throughout history on Israel and like this have a better understanding of God’s work.
