The Old Testament Through the Lens of the New #1

Lesson 1: Peter's Focus on the OT in His Sermons to the Jewish People in Acts 2-3

This session explores how the New Testament authors, particularly Peter, Stephen, and Paul, interpret the Old Testament to illuminate the identity and mission of Jesus Christ. Drawing on examples like Joel's prophecy and Deuteronomy's messianic promise, the speaker emphasizes that the Old Testament serves as a lens through which the significance of Jesus—as both Messiah and Lord—becomes clear. The focus is not on correcting or modifying Old Testament teachings, but on understanding how they point towards Christ, ultimately calling for personal repentance and faith in Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises and the pathway to salvation.
