Ep 61. Shadows of Christ in Genesis (Women's Bible Study)

Now that we've completed the book of Genesis, what would you say the book of Genesis is about? Today in our Women's Bible Study we take a look at the "hidden" theme of this first book of the Bible. We cover pretty much the entire book in this one session, all the while looking for expectations of, shadows of and types of Christ. We look back at creation, the promised seed of woman, the first blood sacrifice. We move through the flood narrative and remember how Noah and his family were saved. We look at the promise that all the families of the earth will be blessed by Abraham, and who fulfills that promise. My personal favorite: Melchizidek (and why I think he's a type and not a Christophany). How many parallels can you find in the Sacrifice of Isaac story to the Christ story? We hear Jesus explain Jacob's ladder in his own words, then we we quickly look one last time at Joseph and Judah. 

I hope this episode blesses you. It will be a good one to share with a friend because it's sort of a "stand alone" episode, so would you share it with someone this week?

Hey I love you, I'm praying for you, and I hope you have a great week!
