We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Seeing Jesus: Seeking and Finding Him in the Scriptures" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
When we want to see who Jesus was and why he came, we tend to turn to the New Testament accounts of his birth in Bethlehem, his sermon on the hillside and his death on a cross. Yet we discover on the road to Emmaus that Jesus way of explaining who he was and why he came was to work his way through the Old Testamentthrough Genesis and Exodus, Psalms and Proverbs, Isaiah and Jeremiah.
In Seeing Jesus, Nancy Guthrie takes us through 60 selected Old Testament readings to see how they reveal Jesus in their promises and prophesies, sacrifices and shadows. Your eyes will be opened to the epic scope of the Bibles story like never before, as you see what Gods plan for His people has been all along.

Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
LUKE 24:27
Most of my life I have read and been taught the Old Testament as a series of life lessons or faith lessons. I knew that the Old Testament spoke of Christ, but in my mind that was limited to the prophecies about the coming of the Messiah. I did not see that, in fact, all of the Old Testament is preparing us to understand who Christ is and what he came to do. Jesus said to the religious leaders, You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! (John 5:39). Jesus was saying that the entirety of the Old Testament its history, its promises, its people, its laws, its ceremonies, its songs all of it is about him.
Through the pages of this book, well seek to see Jesus in the Old Testaments stories, sacrifices, and songs. Well seek to see Jesus in its people, its promises, and its prophecies. Well embrace the story of Gods redemptive work in human history in light of where it leads to Christ. In each devotional, youll find an Old and New Testament reading, a short reflection that considers how those passages point to Christ, and a prayer you can pray that invites Christ to accomplish his work in the world and in your life.
It is my hope that you will, along with me, stand back in wonder at the magnificence of Gods plan for redemption and at his providence and power to bring about that plan. I hope that, along with me, youll discover more reasons to trust the whole of Scripture and to love the God of Scripture. I hope your mind will be challenged and your heart will be broken by the beauty of Christ on display through the whole of the Old and New Testaments. And I hope that as we look together at how the Old Testament prepares us for the person and work of Christ revealed in the New Testament, we will move closer to worshiping him according to his marvelous and matchless worth.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
GENESIS 1:1
In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He existed in the beginning with God.
God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.
JOHN 1:1-3
All things were created through Jesus.
IN THE BEGINNING God created (Genesis 1:1). How did God create? He spoke each aspect of creation into being. He simply expressed his will, saying, Let there be... And there was! And it was good.
It is no accident that the first words in the Gospel of John are exactly the same as the first words in the book of Genesis. John wants us to understand that the Jesus he is going to tell us about in his book didnt begin his life when he was born in Bethlehem. He was there when the earth was made. John writes: In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him (John 1:1-3, emphasis added). Not only was he there at Creation. Jesus was the agent of creation, the workman bringing about Gods creative plans. Every time we read the phrase Then God said in the first chapter of Genesis, we know that it is Jesus, the living Word of God, accomplishing Gods creative work.
This sheds light on the mystery of who the us was when God said, Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us (Genesis 1:26, emphasis added). Jesus, the Word, was there with him. John tells us, The Word was with God, and the Word was God. John wanted us to understand that Jesus is the logos, the outward expression of all God is.
The apostle Paul expounds on this reality of Jesus as the one through whom all creation came into being:
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
for through him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we cant see
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
Everything was created through him and for him.
COLOSSIANS 1:15-16
If everything was created not only through him but also for him, that means everything that exists, exists for Jesus. Nothing in the universe was created or exists for its own sake, but rather to make the glory of God more fully known.
