What struck me during this reading was the 2 oils and spices that were used to anoint and make holy-the frankincense and myrrh. Both of which were given to Jesus’ mother after His birth. Oils and spices that were considered holy and concreted and it just reminds me God has everything under control.

I’ve always felt guilty saying this, but I sometimes have trouble grasping how the Old Testament and New Testament preach the sane message. I know that the message isn’t exactly the same, because the Old Testament was waiting for Jesus to arrive. However, I see Jesus and God in a very different light sometimes from the scriptures. Anyone else struggle with this?

I completely understand what you mean! I get confused too and don’t understand how they can be so different!

I was taught/told to think of the Old Testament as the New Testament concealed and that the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. So the themes of the NT are subtly woven throughout the OT (for a clearer example of this, Isaiah is a great place to start in my opinion) and foretells the coming of Christ and the completion and restoration of creation. Likewise, in the NT we get a clearer understanding and an explanation of the picture the Lord was painting in the OT (Hebrews I find particularly helpful for this). Hope that helps some! I agree that it can be really confusing sometimes. Angie Smith has a great study that helps connect the Bible into one cohesive story. I can’t remember what it’s called right now, but I highly recommend it if the weaving of the OT and NT is something you want to dive deeper into!

There’s a book I just heard about — Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament. Jean E. Jones is one of the authors, but on Amazon, someone by the name of Pam is the author listed. It’s a book/journal that goes through the OT and shows references to Jesus and the prophecies he fulfilled. Also, look up Alisa Childer’s podcast. She has an episode on this very question — why does God seem different in the OT and NT?

Here’s a helpful commentary on Exodus 29 if anyone is wanting explanations of the sacrifices and consecration of the priests: https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/guzik_david/StudyGuide2017-Exd/Exd-29.cfm

I’m thankful that because of Jesus it’s so much more simpler to be saved! We don’t need to do all those sacrifices anymore! All we need to do is come to God with an honest heart and faith to be saved. Thank you Jesus!
