DAY 16 — THE GOSPEL IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
Date: Friday, January 16, 2026
Focus Scripture:
“And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself.”
— Luke 24:27
Spiritual Outcomes (What You Will Walk Away With)
- Understanding that the Gospel did not begin in the New Testament.
- Ability to see Christ throughout the Old Testament.
- Confidence in the unity of Scripture.
📖 Opening Reflection
Some view the Old Testament as law, history, or moral lessons disconnected from Christ. Yet Jesus Himself taught that the Old Testament Scriptures existed to testify of Him.
The Gospel was promised long before it was fulfilled.
💭 Core Meditation
The Old Testament contains shadows, covenants, prophecies, and types pointing to Christ. From the promise of the seed in Genesis, to the sacrificial system, to prophetic declarations, the Gospel is woven throughout.
The law reveals humanity’s need; the prophets announce God’s solution. All roads lead to Christ.
Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets (entirety of the Old Testament Scripture). The Gospel unites the entire Bible around one redemptive direction.
Reading Scripture Christocentrically (with the lens of Christ) transforms understanding and faith.
🙏 Prayers
Father, thank You for revealing Christ throughout Scripture. Amen.
🗣️ Declare:
I declare I see Christ throughout all Scripture.
I declare the Old Testament reveals God’s redemptive plan for me.
I declare the unity of God’s Word strengthens my faith.
