Do You Know My Jesus?

Do You Know My Jesus?

We are continuing our series this morning on “Do You Know My Jesus?”

Many today claim characteristics of the Christ that do not paint an accurate picture of who He is

When we think of Jesus, it’s normally of the Jesus we read about in the NT

Do You Know My Jesus?

Last lesson we looked at Christ pointing to the OT to speak of Himself

Typology

These can consist of people, things, or events

When you notice them, it opens your eyes to seeing Christ more and more in the OT
