Description

Throughout the Old Testament, there are prefigurations, foreshadows, and prophecies of the coming Messiah. Through the person and work of various people throughout the Scriptures, God’s people saw glimpses into the greater person and work of Christ Jesus. These figures are often called Christ figures because they in some way exemplify a characteristic of Christ: life, security, deliverance, promised land, king, prophet, priest, sacrifice. As St. Paul says, “These are but a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ” (Col. 2:7).

God’s people waited for the coming Messiah, and in Christ, the disciples saw this fulfilled. During the season of Lent, we will meditate on just a few of these Christ figures, and like the disciples, see how Christ is in all times.

Each Wednesday we will focus upon a new Old Testament character and see how their person is fulfilled in Christ. Each section is marked by an image representing the person and a corresponding stanza from an original hymn.

This booklet is the product of a joint effort between the students from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis and Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. It serves as a reminder that we are one Body in Christ Jesus. Thank you to everyone for all the time and effort you put into writing devotions. A special thank you to Henry Eising for designing the art. Also a special thank you to Owen Duncan for composing an original hymn for this series, that is printed in the back.
