Christ in the Old Testament

Many modern Christians think that the Old Testament is not relevant to the Church Age. If the church exists for the purpose of exalting Jesus Christ as its head and Savior, then that view of the Old Testament is irrelevant. IN Luke 24:44, Jesus said that all of the Old Testament, including the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms, were written ABOUT HIM. Not only is the Old Testament relevant to modern Christianity, it is also crucial in helping us to get a clear picture of who Jesus Christ is, both historically and theologically. Beginning in Genesis 3, when God promises to send a Redeemer who will crush the serpent's head, all the way through the Minor Prophets, ending with Malachi, God continues to reveal more information about the Messiah, until it becomes painfully clear that no other man could fulfill that promise other than Jesus Christ.
