Since April of 2008 Living the Word has been based on readings through the New Testament, focusing primarily on individual people and the influence of the living Word of God in their lives.
Now I am going to go back to the beginning of my Bible and start with Genesis 1:1. Once again the focus will be on the lives of real people who lived in Bible times with a prayerful application to my own life and the lives of my readers.
Throughout the Old Testament, God spoke through the prophets and in the lives of people like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In these stories we see many pictures or "types" that point to the promised Messiah - our Lord Jesus Christ.
When the apostles preached about Jesus, they often did a review of Israel's history and the words of the prophets to prove that Jesus was the promised Messiah. We do well as Christians to know these stories as a basis for understanding all that He did for us on the cross.
