As we explore different promises found in the Old Testament, we begin with the New Testament assurance that \u201cno matter how many promises God has made, they are \u201cYes\u201d in Christ\u201d (2Co 1:20 NIV). Jesus himself, God who came in the flesh, \u201cis before all things,\u201d including the promises made in the Old Testament. It is through Him that all things hold together (Col 1:17).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus Himself affirmed that the promises in the Old Testament find their fulfillment in Him, \u201cbeginning with Moses and all the prophets\u201d (Lk 24:27). And as those living on the other side of Jesus\u2019s resurrection, we get to look at the whole of Scripture and see that we follow a \u201cfaithful God who keeps his gracious covenant loyalty for a thousand generations\u201d (Dt 7:9). So as you read the Old Testament promises this week, join with us in saying \u201c\u2018Amen\u2019 to the glory of God\u201d that they find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ (2Co 1:20).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
