1 An Invitation to the OLD TESTAMENT
An Overview of Jesus’ Bible Jason S. DeRouchie, PhD Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Theology Bethlehem College & Seminary

2 Jesus’ KINGDOM Mission
Jesus and his early followers were convinced that Moses and the rest of the prophets wrote about Christ and should be believed. John 5:39, 46. You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and wit is they that bear witness about me…. 46For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. 47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? Luke 24:25–26. O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?

3 John 1:45. We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth.

4 Jesus was fulfilling all that the Old Testament anticipated.
Matthew 5:17. Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish but to fulfill. Luke 24:44. These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. Acts 3:18. What God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. 2 Cor 1:20. For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter our Amen to God for his glory.

5 Jesus’ mission of fulfillment was about God’s kingdom.
Luke 4:43. I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, for I was sent for this purpose. Acts 1:3. He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. God’s kingdom: God’s reign over God’s people in God’s land. God rules, saves, and satisfies through Jesus.

6 Jesus’ kingdom message focused on his work as Messiah and the global mission springing from it.
Luke 24:44–47. the he said to them, “these are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

7 Like Jesus, Paul’s preaching was about the kingdom of God climaxing in Christ.
Acts 20:25, 31. And now behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again Be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish everyone with tears. Acts 28:23. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

8 Like Jesus, Paul’s kingdom message focused on the Messiah’s death and resurrection and the global mission that would grow from it. Acts 26:22–23. I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: 23 that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.

31 The OT is foundation; the NT fulfillment
The OT anticipated Christ Rom 1:1–4 John 5:39 1 Pet 1:10–12 Matt 13:17 John 8:56 Jesus fulfills all OT anticipations Matt 5:17–18 Matt 11:13–14 Acts 13:32–33

40 Why Do We Call It the Old Testament?
10 Reasons Why Old Does Not Mean Unimportant: The OT was Jesus’ only Scripture and makes us three-fourths (75%) of our Bible. The OT substantially influences our understanding of key biblical teachings. We meet the same God in both Testaments. The OT announces the very “good news/gospel” we enjoy. Both the old and new covenants call for love, and we can learn much about love from the OT.

41 Jesus came not to destroy the Law and the Prophets but to fulfill them.
Jesus said that all the OT points to him. Failing to declare “the whole counsel of God” can put us in danger before the Lord. The NT authors stressed that God gave the OT for Christians. Paul commands church leaders to preach the OT.
