Summary

There are multiples times in the New Testament where Jesus refers to the Old Testament. What is the significance of that? Why should we pay attention to it? In today's episode, Patrick looks at John 15 to discuss what these "Easter eggs" point to. Read the Bible with us in 2024!

It's foreshadowing that Buzz and Woody are in a bad spot.

1:09.0

I hesitate to say that the New Testament is full of Easter eggs from the Old Testament because that kind of trivializes those

1:15.6
