Mechanical Christ-Finding in OT
- Evangelical preaching has increasingly focused on 'finding Christ' in the Old Testament, often mechanically.
- This approach can become formulaic, missing the vibrant personhood of Jesus Christ revealed in Scripture.

- Some preachers stop after identifying Christ in the Old Testament text and fail to present His loving, personal nature.
- This reduces Christ to a mere solution rather than a living, loving Savior.

- This inconsistency suggests a disconnect between method and genuine encounter with Christ.
