From Sinai to Golgotha

I once heard someone say, "I am overjoyed with Jesus, it is the Father who I'm having a tough time with." Can you relate? Isaiah 9 tells us, "For unto us a child is born to us, a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder; and his name will be called Wonderful counselor, God almighty, Father forever, Prince of peace." Smith and Goodspeed. And in John, Jesus tells us that "if you seen me, you have seen the Father." Some of us look at the Old testament and ask, "Where is Jesus?" and then look at the New Testament and ask, "Where is the Father?"

This article has helped solidify the harmony between both the OT and NT in my mind like none other.
