Jesus on Every Page – Chapter 8 – “Christ’s People: Discovering Jesus in the OT Characters”Main criticism of the biological or “heroes and villains” approach to the OTThis approach is man-centered (many sermons follow this pattern)The approach is moralistic It fragments the Bible (isolates the passage from the main sweep of biblical history)Tends to be Christ-less (sermons can be God-sermons but not Jesus-sermons)Skips over the original meaning Approach is too individualisticBest approach is to listen carefully to the valid concerns expressed by biographical critics and modify our approach sothat we can sue these spiritual biographies in a more Christ-centered way. Main aim must be to: Keep God, no man, in the foreground Distinguish Christian morality from mere moralism by realizing that we need Jesus’ grace to obey any moral requirement and His forgiveness when we fail Avoid introspective subjectivism by looing away to Jesus far more than looking within for evidences of graceRelate ever story to the overarching plan of redemptiveLook for Jesu when studying Jesus’ peopleFind the original purpose for the original audienceInclude the corporate and eternal perspective even when looking at individual earthly lives+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Jesus on Every Page – Chapters 1-6Unfortunately, there is a general neglect of the OT in many churches. Several reasons:▪ Liberalism – sustained attack on the OT by liberal scholars have shaken Christian’s confidence in the OT▪ Ignorance – lack of knowledge of the culture and history of the OT▪ Irrelevance – no longer applicable to life today▪ Dispensationalism – their artificial dividing up of the Bible into different eras ended up relegating the OT to a minor status▪ Bad examples – OT preaching and teaching is often done poorly▪ Laziness – studying the OT might take more effort▪ Christ-less preaching – too often OT preaching degenerates into moralism▪ Using the title “Christ” instead of the name “Jesus” when referring to the 2 nd person of the trinity in the OTWhat’s the OT all about?▪ Luke 24:25-27, 44▪ Matthew 5:17-18▪ John 8:56▪ Galatians 3:8▪ Hebrews 11:8-9▪ 1 Peter 1:10-11+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.
