He said to them , “How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” (Luke 24: 25-26).
If the disciples had understood that Jesus Christ was the great Anti- type to which all had pointed, then their faith would not have been so shaken; for they would have seen that it was only through death that he could redeem man. It is therefore of the utmost importance that we should be familiar with the Old Testament scenes and institutions which typified his death, even the death on the cross.
