Sometimes we believe, but not as much as we want to or need to. I Believe, Help My Unbelief looks deeper into faith and doubt and the times that we need more faith.
Getting to Know God by Name is a thorough study of all the designations of God in the Old Testament. The third part in this series looks at the "El" names of God that are mentioned in the books of history, Joshua - Esther.

Shadows of Jesus in the Old Testament

The Spirit paints pictures of both the Father and the Son throughout the pages of scripture. In the Old Testament the image of the Father is very clear, but there are outlines and shadings of the Son that will be made clear in the New Testament. Let’s look at some hints and portrayals of Christ being depicted in the Old Testament.

In Genesis Jesus is the Ram that spared Isaac. In Exodus He's the Passover Lamb. In Leviticus He's the High Priest. In Numbers He's the Cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. In Deuteronomy He's the City of our refuge.

In Joshua He's the conquering hero. In Judges He is our Judge. In Ruth He is our Kinsman redeemer. In 1st Samuel He's our Trusted Prophet. In 2nd  Samuel He establishes his Kingly line. In 1st Kings He builds his kingdom. In 2nd Kings He is the faithful future king. In 1st  Chronicles He's our Reigning King. In 2nd Chronicles He disciplines his rebellious subjects. In Ezra He is our Faithful Scribe. In Nehemiah He Rebuilds all that is broken. And in Esther He is the one directing from off the stage.

In Job He's our redeemer that ever lives. In Psalms He is my Shepherd. In Proverbs He's our Wisdom. In Ecclesiastes He is the meaning of life.  And in the Song of Solomon He's the Beautiful Bridegroom.

In Isaiah He's the Suffering Servant. In Jeremiah He is the voice of warning being ignored and rejected. In Lamentations it is Jesus that is the Weeping Prophet. In Ezekiel He's the one like a human above the throne. And in Daniel He is the Fourth Man in the midst of a fiery furnace.

​In Hosea He is my Love that is forever faithful though I am not. In Joel He baptizes with the Holy Spirit. In Amos He's our Burden Bearer. In Obadiah our Savior. And in Jonah He is the Great Foreign Missionary that takes the word to the Gentiles. Micah shows him as the Messenger with beautiful feet. In Nahum He is the Avenger. In Habakkuk He is the Watchman that is ever praying for revival. In Zephaniah He is the Lord mighty to save. In Haggai He is the Restorer of our lost heritage. In Zechariah He is our Fountain. And in Malachi He is the Son of Righteousness with healing in His wings.

But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. ~ James 1:22 (NASB)
