No Matter Where You Look, He is There

There is an incredible statement in John 5:39 regarding finding Jesus in the Old Testament. In essence, it says you can find Jesus in the Old Testament wherever you look. He is found in every verse, every feast, every sacrifice, every strange ritual. Jesus is revealed in both the Old and New Testament. Consider His words in John 5:39:

“You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.”

Remember, Jesus was talking to the Pharisees. And the Scriptures He was referring to was the Old Testament.

Finding Jesus in the Old Testament

In this podcast, we will look at the strange list of names found in Genesis 5 and show, amazingly, how they present the message of Christ in an unmistakable way. And this process begins by simply seeing what each name means. But we have some clues.

For example, we know that Adam means “man” and Seth means “appointed”. We can see that in Genesis 4:25:

And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, “For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.”

But what do the rest of the names mean?  Let’s dig a bit deeper and see if we can enjoy finding Jesus in the Old Testament, beginning with Genesis 5.
