The Importance of the Old Testament to a Christian

Normally I would be writing a long dissertation on the dynamics of the intricacy involved in the theology of that statement when it really only boils down to one simple answer. If you want to know why and how Jesus knew every verse, every action, every moment in the Old Testament so He could bring people closer to God, all you have to do is look at every major event that occurred. Jesus is the Word spoken to create the world. Jesus is the Angel of the Lord in the Burning Bush. Jesus was the bringer of the goat to Abraham. Anywhere you saw Angel (A must be capitalized) of the Lord, that is Jesus. Jesus was the mouth closer of the lions in the den. He was in the Fiery Furnace. He stood by Jonah.  He is the human manifestation of God. Any Questions???
