The Why Series: The Last Week of Jesus' Life - Hardcover

by Sam Tollett (Author)

What I love about the Bible is you don't have to wait until the book of Matthew to discover Jesus. God has intentionally planted Jesus in the Old Testament from the very beginning. When you begin to read the Old Testament with Jesus tinted lenses then it becomes incredible at what you discover. I relate looking for Jesus in the Old Testament to digging gold in an old abandoned gold mine. When you dig up a piece of gold you don't want to quit. You are inspired to dig harder and dig deeper to find more. You catch gold fever. I have found when people no longer see the Old Testament as an old abandoned part of the Bible and begin to dig for Jesus; what they will discover is a wealth of Jesus gold. When this happens they catch the Jesus Fever.
