Seeing Jesus Through Portraits JM – Dr. Joel Muddamalle – Author LT – Lysa TerKeurst – Author Dr. Joel Muddamalle: Hey friends! Welcome to Week  One of Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament. I’m Dr.   Joel Muddamalle and this is my dear friend, Lysa  TerKeurst. This week, we’re going to be studying a   couple of different people, five different people  throughout the Old Testament.

We’ll be looking at   Adam and Eve, Moses, Joshua, David, and Esther.  But really, Lysa, what we’re going to be talking   about, is how we can see Jesus in the midst of our  loneliness. When we open up to the very beginning   pages of Genesis, which is I think we can now  say, our very favorite pages out of Scripture Lysa TerKeurst: Absolutely, well, I mean,  I don’t know if it’s our very favorite,   but it’s the place we return to often.

There’s so much in the story of the creation   that provides this backdrop through which  many things that unfold in the Bible should   be considered. I love the topic today. I  think it’s important for us to remember   that just because we feel lonely,  does not mean we are actually alone. JM: Yes, that’s so good, Lysa.

I was reading  a commentary the other day, which is what I do   for fun. It was really interesting, because what this author said is that the gospel doesn’t begin   in Genesis 3 in the Fall; the good news  doesn’t begin in Genesis 3. Actually,   the good news starts in Genesis 1. And what is  the good news? That there’s a really good God   who makes all of creation incredibly good,  and as the cherry on top of his creation,   He makes Adam and Eve, in His likeness and  in His image.
