In this episode we discuss the following questions and topics:
What do New Testament passages mean that say that that the Old Testament “concerned” Jesus or “testified” about him?
When Jesus opened the disciples’ minds to understand the Old Testament Scriptures, what did they understand that they didn’t understand before?
What is the relationship between the human author’s intention and the divine author’s intention in the Old Testament and how should this make a difference to our preaching?
What are some good questions to ask of an Old Testament text when preparing a sermon?
The difference between “untethered” and “tethered” Christ-centred readings of the Old Testament and how to avoid ‘fanciful’ interpretations.
Some helpful examples of Christ-centred readings from the positive and negative aspects of the life of David, including examples of personal application.
Should we be finding Jesus “under every rock in the Old Testament”?
In what sense does Israel point to Christ, and why Jesus is not just the fulfilment of Messianic expectations?
Sonship in the Old Testament as a trajectory to Christ.
What are some of the key aspects of Israel’s story that are fulfilled in or point to Christ (e.g., land, exile, blessings, curses, God’s wrath)?
How our stories are bound up with Christ and its relevance for application.
