In our sixth installment of a series on hope we turn our attention to the story of hope as it unfolds in the Old Testament. The hope that is fulfilled in Jesus and will one day be fully realized in the new creation has its roots in the Old Testament. The story of the Old Testament is a story awaiting an ending because it is a story of hope deferred. Next week we plan to talk more about the ending of this story, but this week we talk about the promises of hope that are raised on the pages of the Bible’s first half. Let us turn there together.
