Finding Jesus in the Old Testament: Holy Spirit Tree House Presents

Finding Jesus in the Old TestamentThe Old Testament is full of amazing stories — creation, Noah’s ark, Abraham’s promise, Moses and the Red Sea, the Passover lamb, the tabernacle, kings, prophets, and so much more. But these stories are not just history. They are part of God’s big rescue plan.Finding Jesus in the Old Testament was created to help children see how the whole Bible points to Jesus.Long before Jesus was born in Bethlehem, God was already showing pictures of His Son. These pictures are sometimes called types and shadows. A shadow is not the real thing, but it shows us the shape of what is coming. In the same way, many people, places, events, and objects in the Old Testament pointed forward to Jesus.The lamb pointed to Jesus, the Lamb of God.The ark pointed to salvation through Jesus.The bronze serpent pointed to Jesus lifted up on the cross.The tabernacle pointed to God dwelling with His people.The manna pointed to Jesus, the Bread of Life.Each lesson in this book is designed to be simple, visual, and child-friendly. Children will learn Bible truths, memory verses, big ideas, and questions that help them understand how God’s Word fits together. Parents, teachers, and children’s ministry leaders can use this book for family Bible time, Sunday school, homeschool lessons, or quiet devotional reading.The goal is not only for children to learn Bible facts, but to meet the Savior behind the story.From Genesis to the prophets, from promises to fulfillment, God was preparing the world for Jesus. Every page reminds children that God keeps His promises, His Word is true, and Jesus has always been at the center of God’s plan.The Old Testament gave the shadow.Jesus is the substance.The whole Bible points to Him.
