The Gospel in the OT
After completing the required reading and watching the lectures, answer the following prompt:
Read Psalm 22 and Matthew 26-27 again. Answer the following questions:
• What is your reaction to the connection in language between a NT Gospel and an OT Psalm?
• Is this just a big coincidence, or is there a prophetic connection that shows us that God planned to send Jesus all along?
• Share your thoughts about this inner-biblical connection, and take some time to write about what this connection could mean in your life.
• If this connection is truly letting us know that Jesus is the answer to the sin problem, how do you respond?
