In this two-part final project, you will construct an in-depth examination of Jesus’s NT fulfillment of the entire OT system. The book of Hebrews is one giant OT sermon in the NT. The section in view for this assignment focuses on how Jesus fulfills the OT.
● Part 1: Take the NT text, Hebrews 6:13-10:18, and make an annotated list of all the ways Jesus fulfills the systems of the OT. Starting from the beginning of this passage, complete the following:
● Make a list of every OT reference: people, places, ideas, actions, themes, etc.
● Then look up these OT items (using a study Bible, online Bible software, a Bible index, etc.) and state where they are found in the OT (verses) and in what genre of OT literature.
● Provide a brief explanation of what each item is or does in the OT.
● Then using the text in Hebrews, articulate how Jesus fulfills or surpasses that OT idea.
● Part 2: Create a succinct and clear summary of your findings. How would you communicate your conclusions to a middle-school student? In the equivalent of two pages, double spaced, communicate the following:
● What is the central thesis of Hebrews 6:13-10:18?
● How does this perspective connect the NT to the OT?
