Many Christians have a hard time understanding the Old Testament. Often they only know a few isolated “Bible stories.” They don’t understand how biblical history unfolds.
Well, yesterday we learned that in Genesis God promised a Savior when Adam and Eve sinned. The rest of the Old Testament is a historical account about this promise! And in the New Testament, with Jesus’ birth, we see this promise fulfilled.
The Old Testament isn’t just a collection of random accounts. It shows God’s redemptive plan throughout all of history. Without this history, there wouldn’t be anything for us to celebrate at Christmas!
