The Old Testament Survey Class

This is the Old Testament Survey class. Apart from our lecturer having a PhD in Physics, he has taught us pretty well about the Old Testament. Along the class, what amazes me is the harmony you can find on each books of the Bible. There seems to be an author or an architect devising and orchestrating the entire book of the Old Testament. It is actually ot a boring book of minutely details or genealogies or "why am I reading this?" statements but if you look at it carefully, it is actually a beautiful history on how God raise up a nation, that is Israel to bring about His plan of salvation and restoration of the human race.

The Bible is not a book of principles but it is the story of our glorious God. Christianity if a historical religion where we learn something about God from the stories we read in the Bible. But the glorious thing about it is the connection it has towards Jesus Christ, our Messiah. Although we are taught not to link everything to the New Testament but I can't help standing in awe of the perfect connection it has. In the end, it is perfectly connected to Jesus Christ.

Well, praise God for he is the author and perfector of our faith.
