What Most Christians Miss About the Old Testament

WHAT MOST CHRISTIANS MISS ABOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT CHANGES EVERYTHING. Many Christians respect the Old Testament, but quietly struggle to understand it. It can feel distant, confusing, harsh, or disconnected from everyday Christian faith. But the Old Testament is not just ancient background before Jesus arrives. It is the foundation that teaches us what the gospel means. In this video, we explain what most Christians miss about the Old Testament and why it matters for understanding Jesus, the cross, the Kingdom of God, covenant, sacrifice, temple, exile, resurrection, and the whole story of Scripture. We begin by looking at why many believers struggle with the Old Testament. Then we show what the Old Testament is actually doing: building the biblical world of creation, rebellion, covenant, sacrifice, kingdom, temple, exile, and restoration. Finally, we explain how the Old Testament changes the way we read Jesus and helps the whole Bible fit together as one clear story. “If you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.” This verse captures the heart of the video: the Old Testament was never meant to be disconnected from Christ. It was preparing us to understand Him.
