Seeing Jesus In The Old Testament: Teacher Edition

A shadow is "a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays of light and a surface." The shadow assumes the shape of the object blocking the light. It resembles the object but isn't the object.In biblical literature, a shadow is a prefiguring of something in the future. One thing in the Old Testament resembles in some way a thing in the New Testament.Hebrews 10:1 says, "For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near." The Law of Moses was a shadow (an obscure resemblance) of what Christ brought to us (which is the substance, the actual object casting the shadow).Much of this kind of symbolism emphasizes the difference between the material nature of the Law of Moses and the spiritual emphasis of Christ's covenant: Israel versus the church; the temple made of stones versus the temple made of living stones; the 12 tribes of Israel versus the sons of God by faith in Christ; the animal sacrifices versus the sacrifice of Christ; etc.However, there are also people in the Old Testament who resemble Jesus in very specific ways. That's the emphasis of this class. In this study we'll concentrate primarily upon people who foreshadow Jesus in specific ways, either by their character and behavior, or by the circumstances and events they experienced.This book contains the Answers for the workbook by the same title.
