There are many reasons to read the Old Testament. Jesus is revealed in all the books there through symbols, pictures and propecies. (Luke 24:27, 24:44-45) As we read the symbols and shadows in the old covenant, we can more fully understand what we have today in the new covenant, where Christ is the substance!
Kuna sababu nyingi za kutufanya kusoma Agano la Kale.Yesu amefunuliwa katika vile vitabu vyote kupita ishara,picha na unabii mwingi. (Luka 24:27, 24:44-45) Tunapo mafumbo haya na vivuli katika agano la kale, tunaweza kuelewa sawasawa zaidi tulicho nacho katika agano jipya, ambako Kristo ndiye mali! Na ahadi za Mungu zote zimepokea ukamilifu wake katika Kristo.
