Jesus is the answer to every question the Old Testament asks. Jesus is the fulfillment of every prophecy and typology the Old Testament makes.

God swore to His people throughout the Old Testament to redeem them from their sin and rebellion. Luke 1:67-79 shows us how Jesus Christ is the perfect fulfillment of God's oath to His people and the everlasting deliverance of the people for God's own possession.

Now Zechariah's wife had been barren and they were both old, so when God had told Zechariah that he was going to finally have a child, Zechariah responded, ...
