Why is the Old Testament important to us? Because it was Jesus’ Bible: the background code against which his life and teachings are understood. He refers to the tenets of the Hebrew scriptures in a way that both affirms and transforms. His teachings are a spiritual intensification of the principles that have guided his people through ages.
