Typology: Moses and Jesus
As I mentioned in my last post, my Bible study group has just finished studying the book of Exodus... I found this little graph that shows the typology between Moses and Jesus if anyone is interested in reading it....

That's a really cool comparison chart. I hadn't thought about a lot of those things before. I know that Paul used Moses quite a bit in his writings to contrast the old and new testaments. Very cool! I just read through the old testament again this year, and I was surprised by how new it all felt, even though I've read it a couple of times before. Exodus is a rad book. I'm jealous of your study :)
Ben,
I know right? I have not ever really looked at the Old Testament for typology things like this, but since the Bible study I go to has been doing that I am surprised at myself for not looking for those connections before... and boy are there a lot of them too! Thanks for stopping by my blog again!

Totally. I'm sorry I was gone for a long time. Life got super busy all of a sudden and I wasn't able to do any kind of blogging for about 3 months. But now that that's over, I'm enjoying getting to check out what I've missed.
