Fulfilling the Law and the Prophets – Luke 24:44
Throughout its pages, the Bible tells a consistent story. The Old Testament looks forward to the work of Jesus fulfilled in the New Testament.
Prophets
Jesus As the Fulfillment of the Law and Prophets
Jesus claimed to be the fulfillment of the Law and Prophets. But what did he mean? That he fulfilled some prophecy? Or something much more?
1 Peter: The Mystery of Salvation (1:10-12)
After talking about the salvation we are receiving, and looking forward to, Peter takes a look back at those who initially wrote about it. The Old Testament prophets wrote under the inspiration of God. But that does not mean they always fully understood the message God gave to them. Peter says that they searched intently to understand the mystery of salvation that they wrote about. But it was kept hidden until it was fulfilled in Christ.
