INTERTEXTUALITY … HOW THE NEW TESTAMENT HANDLES THE OLD TESTAMENT!

It’s always been a point of interest in my study of the Bible. The unique (and sometimes opaque) way the New Testament quotes the Old Testament. All the while knowing (fully assured) that every Verse in the Bible is inerrant (without mistake), divinely inspired of God.

“For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:21

Well, tonight’s Evening Meditation (our upcoming Text being Hebrews 2:11-13) gives us a sterling example of such intertextuality.

Driving home from the Michigan Revival last week … we stopped at an Interstate Exit that had one of these Verizon Towers. There we uploaded the Evening Meditation that I had just preached in the car as Debbie drove us southward. Such amazing technology can be used for the Glory of God!

There in Hebrews Paul in three short verses quotes the Old Testament three different times! In an easy-to-see fashion, at that. If you’re a Bible student also interested in the “workings” of the very Mind of the Holy Spirit, of Almighty God … this evening Lesson is for you!

I’ll say no more.

Yes I will, quoting Jesus … “COME AND SEE!”

Again and again Psalm 119 mentions loving God’s Law, God’s Word … I sure want to be numbered in that crowd!
