Christ Foreshadowed: How the Types in the Ceremonial Law Explain the Cross - Steffen Jenkins

Passages in the Law which point to Christ, especially sacrifices, are often treated as mere illustrations of what we already know from the NT. Conversely, some authors attack an evangelical view of the cross as being unjust and unscriptural. In this talk, we let the Law teach us about the cross: shining greater light on NT passages by showing us what the NT authors assumed but we often miss. We also look at passages that may seem less obvious predictions of the cross, but which train our morals to see how God’s solution to the sin of the world in the penal, substitutionary, atoning death of Christ was also the most glorious demonstration of justice.
