If you are even remotely interested in theology and/or preaching and you haven't had the time to listen to the Tim Keller / Ed Clowney seminars on "Preaching Christ to a Postmodern World" available for free (!) on iTunesU, here's a little taste of what you're missing out, on the topic of finding Christ in the Old Testament.

Jesus is the true and better Adam who passed the temptation test in the garden and whose obedience is imputed to us.

Jesus is the true Abel, who though innocently slain, now has blood that cries out for our acquittal, not our condemnation.

Jesus is the true Abraham who answered the call of God to leave all that was familiar and go out into the void, not knowing whither he went.

Jesus is the true Isaac, the son of laughter and grace who was offered up for us all.

Jesus is the true Jacob who wrestled with God, took the blow of justice we deserved so that we like Jacob only received the wounds of grace just to wake us up.

Jesus is the true Joseph who is at the right hand of the king, forgiving those who betrayed and sold him and uses his new power to save them.

Jesus is the true and better Moses who stands in the gap between the people and the LORD and who mediates a new covenant. He is the real Man on the mountain.

Jesus is the true rock of Moses, who struck with the rod of God's justice now gives us water in the desert.

Jesus is the true Joshua who is the general of the Lord's army.

Jesus is the true and better Job, the only really innocent sufferer, who intercedes for his friends.

Jesus is the true and better Samson, whose death accomplishes so much good.

Jesus is the true David whose victory becomes his people's victory, though they never lifted a stone to accomplish it themselves.

Jesus is the true Ecclesiastes teacher, because he leads us through despair to help us find God.

Jesus is the true Jonah who went into the belly of the earth so that people could be saved.
