The Old Testament Testifies of Christ
The Old Testament is more than a collection of ancient stories; it is a sacred record of God’s dealings with His people. It was written by prophets under the influence of the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament, Jesus Christ is known as Jehovah. This year, you will see how Christ strengthened, taught, guided, and loved those who lived during the times of the Old Testament, just like He does for us today.
