We tend to look to the New Testament to tell us about Jesus, yet it was the Old Testament about which Jesus said, "the Scriptures point to me " In The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie takes readers from Genesis through Malachi, shining the light of Christ on the promise of a descendent who will put an end to the curse of sin; the story of a father who offers up his son as a sacrifice; the symbol of a temple where people can meet with God; the prophecy of a servant who will suffer; the person of a king who will rule with righteousness--and so much more. Day by day throughout the year, readers will see the beauty of Christ in fresh new ways, creating a deeper understanding and appreciation for who Jesus is and what he accomplished through his Cross and Resurrection.

Wouldn't you have loved to be part of that conversation with Jesus? As he walked with two of his followers on the road to Emmaus, what Scriptures did he point to and say, "This is about me"? Which events, symbols, and people did he identify as foreshadowing his life, death, and resurrection?
The entire Old Testament tells a story that only finds its completion in Jesus Christ. In The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie takes readers from Genesis through Malachi, shining the light on how the Old Testament points to Christ: he's the offspring of Eve who put an end to the curse of sin; he's the Son offered up as a sacrifice by his father; he is the true Temple where people can meet with God; he is the Suffering Servant Isaiah wrote about and the King whose throne will last forever--and so much more. Day by day throughout the year, readers will see the beauty of Christ in fresh, new ways, creating a deeper understanding and appreciation for who Jesus is, what he accomplished, and what is ahead for all who love him.
