Finding Christ in the Old Testament - Part 8: The Ashes of a Red Heifer

Finding Christ in the Old Testament - Part 8: The Ashes of a Red Heifer

“They said to one another, ‘Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?’” (Lk.24:27:32) Burning hearts! The inevitable result of having the Bible explained so it all begins to make sense and the person and work of Christ, its central character, comes into sharper focus. I used to think it would be wonderful to know what Old Testament incidents, symbols and themes the Lord unpacked for them. The way to do it seems obvious now! Wouldn't they be the same things that he and his Apostles spoke about - things that were later recorded and expounded in the New Testament? This series is the result of that thought process and picks up on these themes using as near as possible the order in which we encounter them in the Old Testament.
