That’s a useful contrast / summary, isn’t it?

Old Testament to New Testamnet / prophets to Jesus =

Promise to fulfilment

Provisional to final

Partial to complete.

“Jesus is not the replacement of the Old Testament, but he is its resolution.” (p6)

 

See further: Matthew 5:17-18; 2 Corinthians 1:20

 

Prayer:

 

Father God, thank you for the Old Testament, which so wonderfully prepares us for the coming of Jesus. But thank you above all for Jesus Himself, your Son, your full and final Word to humanity. Help us to listen to Him. Amen.
