#258: Everything Points to Jesus

Did you know that the stories of the Old Testament were pointing forward to Jesus? In this episode of Truth Seekers: Bible Stories for Kids, we explore Luke 24:36–49, where the risen Jesus appears to His disciples and helps them understand how the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms were all pointing to Him.

From God’s promises in Genesis to the Passover lamb, the sacrifices, King David, and the words of the prophets, the Bible tells one great story of redemption. Jesus explains that His suffering, death, and resurrection were not accidents, rather they were the fulfillment of God’s rescue plan that had been unfolding throughout Scripture.

But God’s plan wasn’t finished! Jesus tells His disciples to wait in Jerusalem for something the Father had promised. What were they waiting for? Looking at Jesus’ words in Luke 24 and John 14–16, we discover His promise to send the Advocate, the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, to be with His people and guide them in truth.

This Bible story for kids will help children understand how the Old Testament points to Jesus, how Jesus fulfills Scripture, and how the promise of the Holy Spirit prepares the way for what happens next at Pentecost.

Scripture: Luke 24:36–49; John 14:16–17; John 16:7–13
