Nancy Guthrie on seeing Christ in the Old Testament:

I grew up in church, worked in Christian publishing for over 20 years, and have been in Bible studies for as long as I can remember.

It caused me to reconsider how I have understood the Old Testament for most of my life. I spent a year working through the Old Testament, which developed in me a passion to create materials for Bible study groups to understand how Jesus is pictured in its people and patterns, how he is anticipated in its celebrations and songs, and how he is the answer to all of its unanswered questions and unmet needs.
