The Importance of Knowing the Old Testament

"I grew up in the church all my life, and I had always heard that Jesus was the fulfillment," he says. "But maybe if we had a little more instruction ... it would have helped me understand the glorious mission." The Old Testament is full of references of Christ coming down from heaven to be present with His people way before his incarnation. He appears many times as the angel of the Lord or called the man or the man of God.
