I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking

biblically about everything. There's a couple things I want to try to share with you

right off the bat here and that's this that some people

think that what I'm doing right now is illegitimate in some sense that the idea

of finding Jesus in the Old Testament is somehow wrong because you're not just

taking the meaning of the text what it meant to the original audience at the

original time when they originally heard it. Now I've kind of already unpacked some reasons why

biblically we should be doing this and why this is good hermeneutics, this is good

Bible study, but what we're going to do tonight to show you not just that there are types in the Old Testament of Jesus,

but to show you how many and how pervasive and how many different kinds of ways God foreshadows Jesus in the Old Testament.

We're going to do a survey of a whole bunch of different New Testament types.

Not going to get into a bunch of detail with them. It's more about quantity over quality this time around.

Sometimes, you know, we have the phrase, you can't see the forest through the trees.

So you're there examining one tree, but you don't step back and look at the whole forest to realize how massive and beautiful this thing is.

That's what we're going to do right now. We're going to zoom out and we're going to look at how massive and beautiful this thing is, this typology or foreshadowing of Christ in the Old Testament because we need this the road to

a Mayus experience right how they said did not our hearts burn within us when he opened

the scriptures to us? Remember they had the Bible all that time. They had the

Hebrew Bible that whole time. And yet when Jesus, after the fact, took them through the law, the prophets, the

writings and said, see how it testifies of me, they felt like he'd opened it to them

all over again. And so that's kind of where we're going today. So here's a bunch of different

types of different degrees, some stronger, some weaker, to see Jesus in the Old

Testament. And we're going to start, well I'll just mention a couple I've already done.
