Description
When the Old Testament feels confusing, violent, or even scandalous, what is the final key to understanding it?
In Part 4 of this four-part Ask A Priest series on how to read the Old Testament, Father Tim gives the most important rule of all: Jesus is the final interpretive key. Without Jesus, the Old Testament can feel fragmented or difficult. But through His life, death, and Resurrection, the whole story begins to come together.
Father Tim explains that the Cross is the ultimate revelation of what God does with evil. He also shows how the Old Testament constantly points forward to Christ: Jonah foreshadows the Resurrection, Isaac carrying the wood points to Jesus carrying the Cross, and Joseph's betrayal anticipates Judas and the Passion.
Jesus is not "God 2.0" or a correction of the Old Testament. He is its fulfillment. When we read Scripture through Him, we begin to see the heart of the same good Father from beginning to end.
