Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?

Author(s):

Does the Tanakh foreshadow Jesus?

While arguing with the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; . . .” In this series of books we will examine the Tanakh in
order to see if Jesus’ claim has any merit.

In Hesed Volume One we will consider if the sacrificial system prescribed in the Torah prefigured Jesus’ death on the cross. We will do so by asking such root level questions as:

Why did the Jews need to sacrifice lambs at the first Passover in order to be exempt from G-d’s judgement? After all, they were the victims in this event of slavery and oppression.

Why did the High Priest need to immediately exit G-d’s presence once he sprinkled the blood in the Holy of Holies? In other words, why did G-d prescribe rituals that did not actually atone for sin on the Day of Atonement?
et.al.
