The Big Picture
We are at the end of the Old Testament! Soon our adventure in the New Testament begins. What are some of your favorite stories so far? Maybe when God brought sad Joseph out of prison and into power over Egypt? Or when God used the birth of a baby to turn Bitter Naomi into Blessed Naomi? Or when God protected Daniel while he was in the lions’ den? All these stories tell us more about the Snake Crusher whom God would use to deliver us. He was the promised offspring of Abraham. He was the goat taken outside the camp. He was the Passover Lamb. He was the tabernacle that made a way for sinful people to be with a holy God. The Snake Crusher’s entrance is getting closer and closer, clearer and clearer. But before he comes, we have one more prophet’s voice to hear. What will this last prophet say?
