In this lesson
The Old Testament and its laws were designed to teach man about sin and to direct people to Christ. Details of worship and ceremony mattered because the lessons were in the details (Hebrews 8:5).
From Exodus through the prophets, Israel’s story—deliverance, law, types and shadows, kings, exile, and return—prepared the world for the coming of Jesus. Ruth introduces David’s line; the prophets warn of sin and foretell the Savior.
