Overview
This six-week series examines the theological assertion that Jesus is true, better, and greater than specific figures and events in the Old Testament. By looking at the comparisons between Jesus and Moses, David, Job, Melchizedek, and the tabernacle, we can understand the importance of these figures and how their stories are fulfilled in Jesus.
Weekly Previews
Week 1
Jesus is greater than the old covenant, but we need to understand the figures and events of the Old Testament if we want to fully understand Christ.
Week 2
Jesus is greater than Moses. Jesus shows his authority and relationship to God through the Sermon on the Mount and is revealed as God’s appointed person to lead his people to redemption.
Week 3
Jesus is greater than David, showing that even though he is David’s descendant, he is the true King that David spoke of.
Week 4
Jesus is the true High Priest, greater than any that has come before in the line of Aaron. Like Melchizedek, he is God’s priest, but he is also the once-for-all sacrifice and true mediator between God and his people.
Week 5
Jesus is greater than the tabernacle or the temple. In fact, those rituals of the Old Testament point to the person and work of Jesus.
Week 6
Jesus and Job both suffered, but Jesus’s suffering brought redemption for all and shows he can relate to us when we suffer.
