SLIDE: Exploring the connections between the Old Testament and New Testaments is important for our faith journey.

The NT is read through the OT and then back again!

Figural reading.

Almost all events of Jesus have an OT connection.

       Luke 18:35-43

JESUS = JOSHUA

SLIDE:  Jesus anointed by a Sinful Woman

Luke 7:50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has SAVED you; go in peace.”
