Lesson 3: Using the Old Testament to Point to the Cross

Questions 1 and 2

Greetings and welcome back, friend. We’ve been studying 1 Peter 2:4-10, and have noticed these points from the passage:
1) Peter’s continual reference to the cross, 2) his application of the cross to daily living, and 3) his use of the Old Testament as it points to the cross. In this lesson we want to examine point number 3) his use of the Old Testament as it points to the cross.
Let’s notice how Jesus used the Old Testament as it points to the cross and the benefits believers receive from the cross:
John 3:14-15 (NIV) Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
