Tentang eBook ini

God has told us in many ways who He is, who we are, and why it matters that we know Him. This study, which is geared for the English as a second language community, can be used by anyone who wants to move closer to the Lord. The authors explore the big story in God's larger narrative. The Big Story includes a ready-made English-learning curriculum that showcases Christ in the fullness of His glory through His person and work from the promises of the Old Testament. In Luke 24:25–27, we are explicitly told that the Old Testament should be interpreted and understood in light of who Jesus is as the Son of God and Son of David and what He did in His life and death—as well as in His resurrection and ascension. We are witnesses not just of the New Testament words of Christ but the Old Testament words of Christ as well. It is the preaching of Christ from the Old Testament through the light of the New Testament that touches hearts and changes lives.
