Exodus 12 — Passover Lamb → Christ our sacrifice
Joshua 6 — Jericho falls by grace, not strength
Ruth 4 — Kinsman-Redeemer → Boaz prefigures Christ

Jesus isn’t just in the Old Testament—He is its heartbeat. Not every verse names Him, but every chapter points to His coming, His character, or His covenant. The Law reveals our need. The Prophets announce His arrival. The Writings reflect His wisdom. To read the Old Testament without seeing Christ is to read a map without the destination. But when your eyes are opened—like the disciples on the road to Emmaus—you see Him everywhere.
Lord, open my eyes. Not just to facts, but to You. In every page, let me find Your face. Amen.
