1. Read it recognizing that it testifies about Christ.
Christ Himself teaches us that the Old Testament scriptures testify about Him. Before His crucifixion, Christ our Lord told His disciples that He must be rejected, suffer, die, and be buried. On the night in which He was betrayed He said, “The Son of Man goes as it is written of him” (Matthew 26:24). It is written in the Old Testament scriptures that the Christ must die. After the resurrection, Christ our Lord said to His disciples, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” (Luke 24:25–26).
