Shadows: Seeing the Gospel in the Old Testament — Suffering & Salvation (Lesson 4)
Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - Luke 24:25-27,44-47 (Luke 23:46; 24:25-27,44-47; Psalm 2:1-12; 16:10; 22:1, 7-8 & 18; 31:5; 34:19-22; 41:5-10; 69:4; 110:4; John 13:16-19; 15:20-25; 19:32-37; Matthew 27:35, 39-43 & 46; Exodus 12:46; Zacheriah 12:10; Isaiah 53:1-12; Acts 4:24-31; 8:26-35; 13:26-33; 1 Peter 2:21-25; Hebrews 1:1-6; 5:5-6; Revelation 2:25-27)
In this lesson, we’re going to step into the shadow of suffering. Through the Psalms, Isaiah, and the voices of the prophets, we’ll see that the cross wasn’t a tragic twist in Jesus’ story—it was an essential part of it. You can’t have resurrection without death. And when we reflect on His suffering, we’re also invited to see His victory—and the unshakable hope we have because of Him.
Series description:
This series explores how key Old Testament events, symbols, and figures pointed forward to Jesus’ death and resurrection. By seeing how God wove the gospel into Israel’s history, we’ll deepen our appreciation for Christ’s sacrifice and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.
