Brilliant! to quote Darrell

Since college I have had this affinity for the Old Testament, the words that were spoken and written about Jesus in the OT then brought forth in the New Testament to show us that we have known about Jesus all along. Well, of course we have known about Jesus all along we have access to both the old and new testament but for those living in the time of the new testament it was brilliant to have the author of Hebrews go back to the words of God in the Old Testament to show who Jesus was and is. God had given the words and the author of Hebrews knew where they were and how to share them with those during the time of the New Testament but now they are words for us too! Brilliant! God has spoken so clearly to us about who Jesus is and yet so often to hang out hats on and listen to Jesus is from others, although valuable nothing replaces hearing from a Father about a Son. Recently in a new marriage where I was lucky enough to not only gain and awesome husband but step-daughter as well this resonated with me in a new way. I had heard many other people who knew Kimmy (my 5 year old now) talk about her and tell stories but to really know her I listen to Jon, no one knows her better than her father. To know her better or to get to know her better outside of spending time with her the next best thing is to go to Jon. In the same way with Jesus, it is vital that I not only spend time with Him but with his Father getting to know who He is!
