Finding Jesus in the Pages of the Old Testament Part Two | Pastor Kevin Poage

In this continuation of our series Finding Jesus in the Pages of the Old Testament, Pastor Kevin walks us through the powerful truth that Jesus is not only revealed in the New Testament, but throughout the entire Bible. Using key scriptures from Luke 24, Colossians 2, 1 Corinthians 15, and Romans 5, Pastor Kevin highlights how figures like Adam, as well as the feasts of the Lord found in Leviticus 23, all point directly to Jesus Christ. From the fall of the first Adam to the redemption found in the second Adam—Jesus—we uncover how God has been telling the story of salvation from the very beginning.

Plus, we dive deep into the biblical feasts: Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles—and how each one prophetically points to the first and second coming of Christ. This study is both theological and deeply practical, reminding us of the beauty of God’s intentional design and pointing us to the joy of living in Christ.

✨ Three Key Takeaways:

1. Jesus Is Revealed Throughout the Entire Bible:
   Luke 24 shows us that Jesus explained how all the Scriptures—from Moses to the prophets and the Psalms—pointed to Himself. The entire Bible, not just the New Testament, testifies about Jesus.

2. Adam and Jesus: A Divine Contrast:
   The first Adam brought death and sin into the world, while the second Adam, Jesus, brought life and righteousness. Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15 beautifully contrast their roles, helping us see our spiritual transformation in Christ.

3. The Feasts of the Lord Point to Jesus’ Redemptive Work:
   The biblical feasts aren’t just ancient traditions—they are prophetic markers. The spring feasts (Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost) were fulfilled in Jesus’ first coming. The fall feasts (Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles) point to His return. These appointed times reflect God’s eternal plan through Christ.
